The point is it doesn't matter we are one economic engine and should start thinking/ acting as one, instead of being upset that one city is getting credit over another.

Agreed. Eventually, the region is going to become so dense and interconnected (it already is, but even more so) that after a certain point it won't make much sense to have ourselves be 3 separate cities. I think nitpicking about where in the region we are from to the point we object to amalgamation is a bit silly. Even if we amalgamate, we could still say we're from Kitchener or Cambridge or Waterloo and most people will know what we mean. Toronto amalgamated in 1998 yet everyone can still say they are from Toronto, North York, Etibcoke etc.

I was raised in Kitchener, but I could care less whether we became Galt, Waterloo, Kitchener, Berlin or Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch. Most likely, we'd end up as Waterloo simply due to the international recognition it now has.
