The smart thing to do would be to amalgamate and operate this place like one big city, because it is one big city. The vague borders you can't see and out of touch ideas of identity/place is absolutely meaningless and obsolete. It's why nothing gets done and you can't treat this place like a serious urban Canadian settlement.
And some new media would help too. This region has, what, 700'000 people now? A lot of them are young and/or people who have lived all over the world. Why is it that the main newspaper is still some worthless rag that mostly seems to print weekly articles getting grandma and grandpas hot takes on rapid transit and dense housing development? A couple zoomers with an iPhone can do better journalism than the nonsense The Record of 570 News offers.
