AWS us-west-2 routed through Europe from NY?

Just because a "fancy" traceroute tool does ARIN, RIPE or APNIC lookups, or
uses a third party geolocation tool such as Maxmind to determine who owns a
given netblock, does not mean that each hop of the traceroute is going
through that country...

It's just saying "this block of IPs is owned by Telia, which is based in
Europe". If you look at the reverse DNS for the route they have used fairly
common abbreviations to denote that this link goes city-to-city within
North America.

Also you would probably notice if your end to end latency from Quebec to
Oregon was taking a round trip through Europe. I bet your RTT ping to the
end point AWS IP in Oregon is low enough that the currently known laws of
physics would prohibit it from taking a round trip through an atlantic
cable and back again.
