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.
