Maybe that's a hint how you can solve that yourself.
Instead of assigning the country (CAN - Canada) and a region (Ontario)
you might assign the province as country: ONT - Canada Ontario .
To do this you must add your provinces to the LocationHook.xml file and
add the country redefinition rule
mkgmap:country=CAN && mkgmap:admin_level4=* { set
mkgmap:country='${mkgmap:admin_level=4}' }

In case there is a tag with the short name add this tag to the
name-tag-list option.
