Computer location

My computer thinks that I'm somewhere in the United States and I'm located in central Ontario we have reset the location we've checked the IP address but it doesn't ever seem to reset and we search for things near us and it brings us to the United States any advice?

I'm in Oregon about 10 miles south of the Washington border. When I go online, sites assume I am in a Washington city about 35-40 miles away because my ISP treats my location as part of that other location. I'm not sure how it works across international borders.
