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

[kskumar]

I have experienced this on installs of 13.04, 13.10, and 14.04. It also
adds Canadian servers to sources.list instead of US servers.

Worth noting: when the installer asks you to type in your city and then
it displays it on the map, it plots the pin for Detroit, Michigan, USA
at the approximate location of Toronto, Ontario, Canada (see attached
screenshot).

  Detroit is not in Canada, 12.04

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.
