That's not what the map indicates though. There are 3 subdialects listed for English in Canada. One is "Irish Newfoundland" and one is "Atlantic".
In any case it's very American-centric, as you say. I think they collect a lot more data from, say New York City than they do from small villages in Atlantic Canada.
