That's the classified as the north - east and west don't apply there. That's a whole different ballgame, when it ever vaguely gets any attention.
As for the east-west divide, yeah, the Manitoba-Ontario border is the point. I always got the feeling Thunder Bay was more attached to Toronto - the number of flights is 3X that of those to Winnipeg and most Thunder Bayers were more attached to the Leafs than the Jets too. Anecdotal, I know, but that's the impression for me.
To be fair, the Canadian Shield north of the 47th parallel and west to the Prairies has so few people in some areas as to be uninhabited in relation to Southern Ontario or the Prairies. It could be recognized as the physical manifestation of the symbolic gap between east and west.
