This isn't a bug. Each timezone has one key city per larger region, and for Canada/Eastern, Toronto happens to be it. As a Calgarian, I have to suffer with my timezone being "Edmonton", so I feel your pain, but it's not practical to alias every timezone to every town and city (and hamlet and rural region...) that shares the timezone, so this is what we get.

The probleme is with ubuntu 16 as well and to fix it you must choose (during install) "Mont-real" and not "Montreal" The city name is miss spell ;)
