Same in Canada.
Outside of a few stickler restaurants, chefs and home cooks in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, most people take Bolognese to mean meat sauce with tomato in it. Which of course is not what Bolognese is for a stickler.
I have only had the proper tomato-free Bolognese 2 or 3 times in my life.
Lots of variations on Bolognese in this thread.
