no Montréal listed in city?

[Daniel LaSalle]

It was olek @ UMC (https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/20-04-some-very-minor-annoyances-for-when-working-in-tty7/22142) whom suggested me to bug report this so why not ;)

Why are the only 2 selectable cities from GMT-5 (Eastern) are: Toronto and NYC? There's also this other city called Montréal who hosts a whole bunch of different of people in between the two.

Oh, and did you know that there was also a province and infrastructure surrounding this whole city? We better be start using it in 2020!

Thank you for your bug report, technically it's the same timezone, see

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones where America/Montreal is defined as an alias

that's not really a bug in tzdata and ./usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal is available on disk so your client software could display it if wanted

I wanted to give an update to this as I am installing 21.04 and those changes have somewhat been taken into consideration:

1. Thanks a lot for those;
2. During initial setup, city is listed as "Mont-real" while it should be "Montréal" (Very minor cosmetic flaw);
3. When selecting "Mont-real" the "CONTINUE" button never shows up and I need to use something like Toronto. Then it works (Minor bug?);
