That was a classification I made up to best describe the areas being covered.

The other guy can best explain.

so basically you made up a title but no-one out here calls these provinces mid-western.....

typical toronto meddling

Thunder Bay didn't fit in Ontario. Thunder Bay doesn't even feel like it's in Ontario.

Why don't we call it "The Conflict Zone" and make everyone happy, since we obviously aren't.

Archiseek · #7 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 5:59 PM**

well it should be in the ontario forum where people will look for it

this frankly is ridiculous and completely counter-intuitive

Rename the Ontario Forum to Southern Ontario Forum, and we've got about 5 Northern Ontarians to even things out here.

Northern Ontario is as Ontarian as Saskatchewan is Manitoban. It doesn't make much sense but if you lived here you'd know it's true.

Thunder Bay being here is fine with me - but "Midwestern Canada" sounds retarded.

"Central" Canada would be better...

M II A II R II K · #10 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 6:47 PM**

That name could work also.

wags_in_the_peg · #11 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:03 PM**

we aint the USA, get rid of midwestern. Prairies or Central Canada

M II A II R II K · #12 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:07 PM**

Yea I was thinking that, sounds like a US thing.

Only The Lonely.. · #13 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:22 PM**

Central canada refers to Southern Ontario, why not just place us in the Ontario forum then.

Seriously, i'm midwestern and damn proud of it!

M II A II R II K · #14 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:28 PM**

Well this is the forum for the most name changes, even though it's the newest.

someone123 · #15 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:40 PM**

"Central Canada" means Ontario and possibly Quebec. It's a term that's been around for a long time.

Why don't you just call it "Manitoba and Saskatchewan"?

M II A II R II K · #16 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:40 PM**

Yea it turns out that Central Canada is officially Ontario and Quebec so that's out.

Only The Lonely.. · #17 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:43 PM**

Thank you.

I don't see anything wrong in calling us the Midwest.

The American Midwest covers Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota..

Since both provinces and 'province to be' (NW Ontario) span the same distance it makes sense to think of ourselves as the Canadian Midwest.

How about "The part of Canada that no one seems to want"?

circle33 · #19 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:46 PM**

I vote for "The Rest", even though we aren't voting ...

M II A II R II K · #20 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 7:58 PM**

Ok I think this name works best.
