Talk:Southern Ontario

message: I added the two citation needed tags to the tourism section because it contradicts this which does have citations.  Maybe Toronto/Silver Horseshoe cheerleaders can not only provide citations, but also fix the chart.  Isn't it just obvious that more international visitors go to Toronto than Rome?  I just hope this isn't a deliberate snub against Canada. --Antigrandiose (talk) 07:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I live in Eastern Ontario, which I have never considered part of Southern Ontario. The first external link of the article, to Southern Ontario Tourism, shows a map that does not include Eastern Ontario. I suspect that most people, when they say "Southern Ontario", are thinking of the area covered by the tourism link, and maybe a little more to the east, but not Eastern Ontario. Should the article not mention this as an alternative (and, I suspect, much more common) definition of Southern Ontario? Sagifer (talk) 13:41, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I am familiar with the website you're speaking of. It is of very poor quality and should be called "Southwestern Ontario Tourism" as it doesn't show much outside of SW Ontario. Aside from that, Ontario only has two regions, north and south. Eastern, Central, and SW Ontario are only subregions. You wouldn't hear many locals in those subregions speaking of their areas as just "Southern Ontario" because of it's vast size (larger than most US states). It's far easier and common to speak of their specific subregions. The provincial government, federal government, as well as government departments like Ontario Parks include all subregions in southern Ontario. I agree with you that people in Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston, Barrie, don't often think about themselves as in "Southern Ontario" due to the more common subregion usage. But they all are.

replies: text: Indeed. The legal demarcation line is the French and Mattawa rivers. There is no formal boundary between Eastern, south-central and southwestern Ontario in the same way. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 04:55, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK...but the article isn't specifically about the Ontario Government's definition of Southern Ontario, is it? That there isn't even a mention of this point of controversy in the article is highly suspect, especially as this article (as well as dozens of other ones pertaining to Ontario) seems scrupulously stage-managed by Ontario Liberal political operatives. Nobody in any part of the legally-defined "Southern Ontario" considers points east of, oh, Napanee to be a part thereof. Furthermore, there are different government definitions for different legislative purposes (e.g. for Drive Clean testing, Renfrew County is not considered part of Southern Ontario; there are similar caveats with regard to MNR hunting and fishing zones). 184.145.42.19 (talk) 17:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Where does the area measurement of Southern Ontario come from? There doesn't appear to be a source. The article shows an area of 139,931 km2 for the total area, including 126,819 km2 in the core area and 13,112 km2 in the extended area. If Southern Ontario consists of the 40 census divisions listed in the article, the total of these census divisions is considerably smaller. The 40 census divisions are a total of 114,217 km2 - 101,264 km2 for the 38 core census divisions and 12,953 km2 in the two extended ones (Parry Sound and Muskoka). These numbers are from Statistics Canada. I can't find any information that accounts for the difference. Clowndentist (talk) 01:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
