No, the middle is in Manitoba pretty close to the 100th Meridian - Where the Great Plains Begin (it is actually closer to the 96th Meridan but the Hip didn't write a song with that name
)
And we are the centre of the Universe actually.

I'm originally from Ontario and my colleagues call me an "Easterner".
I tell them Ontario is actually western Canada; there are 5 provinces west of the nation's capital and 5 provinces east of the capital; the west/east split is the ON/QC border
So technically Ottawa is the centre of the universe

I don't think he was joking! Nanaimo is also on an island
And Australia! And New Zealand!

Maybe not the universe but definitely our galaxy. And as anybody knows from astronomy, there is a huge black hole in the centre of our galaxy that sucks in most of our tax money, never to be seen again.

Map geeks may appreciate the following visualisation:
The different shades are 150 km and 300 km distances, as well as whether the location is in range of one or both supercharger locations.
It's from https://sense-demo.qlik.com/sso/sen...904b-43da64d855d4/sheet/nXpXtJ/state/analysis

Tesla used to be very tight-lipped about the exact location of Superchargers but we have two stories in the last few weeks where the landlords or upcoming sites are (at least softly) promoting the location of not-yet-built SCs. I wonder if this is a change in policy on Tesla's part or loose lips on the part of Shindico and Smart Centres?
Tesla's policy on Supercharger information was loosened at least over a year ago. People have even received decent information from members of the Supercharger team.
They might not like landlords releasing information _this_ early though, given that plans can change even after there's been an agreement, if technical or legal issues arise. But there doesn't seem to be the kind of secrecy there was before.
One interesting thing is that Real Estate companies seem to love to be promoting their green credentials by trumpeting the installation of charging facilities. But it is hard to find Tesla in these news releases.
For example, here is a link from a release from Cadillac Fairview from last October about EVs. CADILLAC FAIRVIEW’S NATIONAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING PROGRAM OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES IN QUEBEC
But the number of chargers announced, and the reduction in GHG emissions is trivial compared to putting all of the SCs recently installed at CF properties. For example, here is the meat of that Cadillac Fairview news release:
Compare that with the number of SCs at Cadillac sites (16 at Toronto Eaton Centre, 20 at Sherway Gardens, 8 at Rideau Centre, 20 at Carrefour Laval, 16 at Limeridge soon to open).
It seems to me like Tesla is telling landlords to keep quiet about SCs.
Otherwise how would you explain making a big deal about the installation of 15-L3s and 30-L2s but no mention of 70 (plus more coming) super-fast chargers in the form of Tesla SCs?

Generic charging needs generic promotion. Tesla owners will know about the Superchargers through their cars.
Perhaps but EV owners will use PlugShare, they don't really need promotion. IMHO the reason you do press releases like this is for positive PR and "greenwashing". You can get that by promoting the Tesla relationship just as much.
