If you want amalgamation, start merging more services. Merging the three fire departments is long overdue. Libraries are another good candidate, though I understand the computer databases are different, so considerable work would be necessary.
That said, even cities as large as London (not Ontario) have two-tiered governments, so there's no reason the status quo can't remain. Merge what works and leave what doesn't alone until merging does work.
