.... speaking of the GTA...

I didn't recognize that threeletter abbreviation, so I hunted it down
and ran into this interesting article in the wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Toronto_Area - has an identity
different from the rest of the province. This is why it sometimes is
referred to as the Province of Toronto. ... 14th largest metropolitan
area in the Americas ... These different border configurations result in
the GTA's population being higher than the Toronto CMA by nearly
one-half million people, often leading to confusion amongst people when
trying to sort out the urban population of Toronto. ... Ultimately, all
the aforementioned places are part of the Golden Horseshoe metropolitan
region, an urban agglomeration, which is the sixth most populous in
North America. .... There has been a growing tension between Toronto and
the surrounding GTA area since the mid-1990s
