The lack of unified cultural identity is a pretty good against amalgamation. Too bad I really don't think there's anyone listening.
Ironically, at least to my feeling, Scarborough, Ancaster, Dundas, are all more culturally distinct from their amalgamated cities than KW would be.
But I'm sure plenty will disagree...
