Question
Why is the IP of my droplet in SF02 seen as being in Canada?

I spun up a droplet in SF02. The IP address assigned to that droplet is seen as being in Toronto Canada. I expected, and hoped, that it would have been seen as being in the United States.
Is there a reason for this?
Is there anything that can be done to ensure the IP address is “located” within the United States?

Because GeoIP, especially for server IPs, is very unreliable. Why does it matter?
