A map highlighting the Canadas with Upper Canada in orange and Lower Canada in green in 1841 the two colonies were united to form the Province of Canada Although both rebellions were put down in short order the British government sent Lord Durham to investigate the causes He recommended self-government be granted and Lower and Upper Canada be re-joined in an attempt to assimilate the French Canadians Accordingly the two colonies were merged into the Province of Canada by the Act of Union 1840 with the capital at Kingston and Upper Canada becoming known as Canada West. Parliamentary self-government was granted in 1848 There were heavy waves of immigration in the 1840s and the population of Canada West more than doubled by 1851 over the previous decade As a result for the first time the English-speaking population of Canada West surpassed the French-speaking population of Canada East tilting the representative balance of power An economic boom in the 1850s coincided with railway expansion across the province further increasing the economic strength of Central Canada With the repeal of the Corn Laws and a reciprocity agreement in place with the United States various industries such as timber mining farming and alcohol distilling benefited tremendously A political stalemate between the French- and English-speaking legislators as well as fear of aggression from the United States during and immediately after the American Civil War led the political elite to hold a series of conferences in the 1860s to effect a broader federal union of all British North American colonies the British North America Act took effect on July 1 1867 establishing the Dominion of Canada initially with four provinces: Nova Scotia New Brunswick Quebec and Ontario the Province of Canada was divided into Ontario and Quebec so that each linguistic group would have its own province Both Quebec and Ontario were required by section 93 of the British North America Act to safeguard existing educational rights and privileges of Protestant and the Catholic minority Thus separate Catholic schools and school boards were permitted in Ontario However neither province had a constitutional requirement to protect its French- or English-speaking minority Toronto was formally established as Ontario's provincial capital Provincehood!

. ! There are a number of public transportation operators within the Greater Toronto Area providing services within their jurisdictions While these operators are largely independent provisions are being made to integrate them under Metrolinx which manages transportation planning including public transport in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. GO Transit which merged with Metrolinx during the late 2000s is Ontario's only intra-regional public transit service linking the communities in the GTA and the city of Hamilton as well as the rest of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Implementation of a 'Presto card' by Metrolinx has created a common means for all fare payments and allows for seamless connection between these and other transit operators Public transit operators in the GTA include Brampton Transit Burlington Transit Durham Region Transit GO Transit Milton Transit MiWay (serving Mississauga) Oakville Transit Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and York Region Transit the TTC operates the Toronto subway system which runs in Toronto and in Vaughan the latter of which began to be served by the system in December 2017 with an extension of Line 1 to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station Highway 401 serves as a major roadway in the Greater Toronto Area The GTA also consists number of King's Highways and supplemented by municipal expressways One of the most principal highways in the GTA Highway 401 is also the longest in Ontario and is also one of the busiest highways in the world. Notably a segment of the highway passing through the GTA holds the distinction of being North America's busiest highway the GTA is laced with a number of limited-access highways including the 400-series highways These include:.

However historian Robert Malcomson has found this return to be inaccurate: it did not include militia sailors dockyard workers or Native Americans and was incorrect even as to the casualties of the regulars Malcomson demonstrates that the actual British loss was 82 killed 43 wounded 69 wounded prisoners 274 captured and 7 missing for a total of 475 casualties Surrender.

These different border configurations result in the GTA's population being higher than the Toronto CMA by nearly one-half million people often leading to confusion amongst people when trying to sort out Toronto's urban population Other nearby urban areas such as Hamilton Barrie or St Catharines-Niagara and Kitchener-Waterloo are not part of the GTA or the Toronto CMA but form their own CMAs near the GTA. Ultimately all the aforementioned places are part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe metropolitan region an urban agglomeration, which is the fourth most populous in North America When the Hamilton Oshawa and Toronto CMAs are agglomerated with Brock and Scugog they have a population of 6,170,072. It is part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis containing an estimated 59 million people in 2011 Municipalities in Greater Toronto Area and related CMAs.
