That will mean having only these places within Ontario as major population
centres:

- Barrie
- Brantford
- Brockville
- Chatham
- Cornwall
- Guelph
- Hamilton (plus Greater Hamilton. Include with Toronto as the GTHA?)
- Kingston
- Kitchener (plus Waterloo and Cambridge)
- North Bay
- Oshawa
- Ottawa
- Peterborough
- St. Catharines-Niagara Falls
- Sarnia
- Sault Ste. Marie
- Thunder Bay
- Timmins
- Toronto (should this be inclusive of GTA or the GTHA in their official
senses?)
- Windsor

In the wiki, someone already pointed out Kawartha Lakes isn't a regional
population centre. I can have that removed. So is all other cities
population with population less than 50k.
