Hey there wedwards2216! You're talking about the stories on the New Tab Page, right? Is your weather also showing as if you're in Canada? You can edit that location and confirm if it's detecting your location or if that location was input.
For the news stories, if you select 'Experience settings' you can see the content and language of your feed. It sounds like that might be set to Canada (English), you can change that dropdown to United States (English) if so!
