My experience has been that many people consider Ottawa to be Eastern Canada and Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/Newfoundland “Atlantic Canada”. I just tend to forget that, since all that stuff is so far “west” to me.
When tourists come in to town off of the American cruise ships, they tend to pour into town asking how much a cab to Montreal and back will cost, and if they’ll get there in time for lunch in half an hour.
I checked, and Ontario is in the Eastern time zone. The Maritime provinces are in the ‘Atlantic’ time zone. The ‘Central’ time zone is mostly Manitoba, which is probably why it doesn’t sound right to say that Ottawa is ‘Central Canada’ either.
I am not from the southern U.S. either. I’m actually from eastern Canada.
No way! Me too! Are you in Halifax (per chance)?
No… Ottawa. Which come to think of it is not usually referred to as “Eastern” Canada, despite being east of most of the provinces.

That must be it, then.
