[MB] Shaw routing me through BC to get to chicago/ny/london etc from MB

For the past few days my ping has been higher to pretty much everything, so I ran a tracert and it seems to be routing me through: rc3so-be23.cg.shawcable.net [66.163.71.118] rc4ec-be13.il.shawcable.net [66.163.65.18] to get to most places. I'm in Manitoba so it really makes no sense why they would be routing me through BC?
