I also think full amalgamation is stupid. Certain services should be upgraded to the region - notably libraries and fire services - but I still see value in having better local representation that can be more responsive to the needs and desires of that community. Wellesley's distinct from Kitchener's distinct from Cambridge.
If we were amalgamated, I'm one Kitchener resident who would be voting for Waterloo as the name. International brand is valuable, and Waterloo has better recognition. Something entirely new is probably the worst-case scenario.
