Quebec and Ontario together have almost 60 percent of Canada's total population. Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and Ontario is 4th largest. Ontario is economic hub of the country. This is why this region is called heartland of Canada.

Ontario and Quebec are the largest provinces in Canada in terms of population, area, and GDP. They are dominant in terms of political, economic, cultural and historic influence.

Although by area and by time zone they are eastern, they are culturally considered "Central Canada", with four provinces to the east and four provinces to the west.

I am a senior citizen. I have lived in Ontario almost all of my life. I have never heard of Ontario being referred to as one of the "core provinces." Who is responsible for this?

Canada East is a historic name for what is now southern Quebec, including Quebec City and Montreal. In 1841, the British Colonial administration renamed the former Lower Canada (now Quebec) and Upper Canada (now Ontario) Canada East and Canada West as part of a series of governmental reforms brought on largely by the Rebellions of 1837-38. The names were changed to Ontario and Quebec when Canada West and Canada East joined Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to become the country of Canada. This was called Confederation, and officially took place July 1, 1867.
