[Bug 997737] Re: Detroit is not in Canada, 12.04

[Robert McKee]

This is still a bug in 16.04. If installing with Detroit for the
location as stated above "it will match it with Canadian sources.list",
as well as the "settings for Canada, rather than the US. So, I had
Canadian date format, units, and currency".

Title:
  Detroit is not in Canada, 12.04

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 12.04 over the weekend.  When it asked me to select
  my location or time zone or whatever, I selected Detroit, Michigan,
  Eastern Time Zone.  When I booted up, I saw that my locale settings
  were for Canada, rather than the US.  So, I had Canadian date format,
  units, and currency.

  I changed it to US per this askubuntu thread:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/133011/set-default-language-to-english-us-in-12-04

  Not sure where this geography information is stored, but this fixed
  the problem for me after the fact.
