I don't really remember the map, but I think that the Montreal region extends down to the great lakes, making them right. :P

If you look at the territories instead of the cities, they actually have "Upper Canada" for (more or less) Upper Canada (post-1791) and "New France" for "Lower Canada" (post-1791.) What they've changed is putting Montreal - which, like Quebec City, was in Lower Canada historically - in Upper Canada. That lets them have both Montreal and Quebec as regional capitals on the map and makes Upper Canada - at this time pretty desolate - a functioning territory for France at the game's start.
It seems more like a calculated design decision than anything else. I'm just ticked that they don't have Halifax as at least a town in Acadia. No Halifax, damnit?
Halifax didn't exist back then, foo'

No, you misunderstood.
I'm not sure, but I think that the region that Montreal is the region capital of, extends downwards to the Great Lakes, and where Toronto is now. Montreal itself is at the extreme edge of the region, and I've no idea why CA did that.
The region that Quebec is the capital of, encompasses the majority of Lower Canada, but they've named it New France, leaving Upper Canada with no Lower Canada.
I'm Canadian, just not French, so don't take me as ignorant.

Oh yes, totally. I'm rather confused by the whole thing as well, but I suspect it is a gameplay issue, since you would need to have Montreal and Quebec in the game, while there are no big cities in Upper Canada at that point.

It covered the southern portion of the modern-day Province of Quebec, Canada, and the Labrador region of the modern-day Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
