Canada's 2022 Metro Area Population (CMA) estimates

That said - remember that the US separates many metro areas into separate MSAs, like San Francisco and San Jose or Los Angeles and San Bernardino.

The GGH in increasingly much like the US northeast in that it's a pretty much continuously urbanized corridor from London to Peterborough with strong ties throughout, though not quite strong enough for the entire thing to be one single metro area.

Is it not a bit of a stretch to classify London-Toronto-Peterborough as a continuous urban corridor when much of the land is undeveloped agricultural land?

There are much more open land between Toronto and Kitchener than between Chicago and Milwaukee which are virtually connected by urban sprawl.

Canadian urban areas are getting more and more distinct from their US peers. They're much more compact.

Everyone in Canada gets Toronto media.

There is regional media in Canada though it's not nearly as developed as in the US.

For example all of the sports networks that broadcast in English are based in Toronto, and there aren't really any regional ones. The main sports network, called TSN for The Sports Network, is often derided as "Toronto Sports Network". Same goes for news channels.

The only exception is French-speaking Canada, which has all of its own stuff (including sports networks, etc.) but based out of Montreal. It's basically another distinct layer of fully-developed national media, but in French.

Canada's CBC local news infrastructure seems relatively underdeveloped. There's a morning Windsor-based news program, but it's really bare-bones. Like something you'd have in a small U.S. town. From a U.S. perspective, it's weird to be watching local programming four hours away. What's the logic of running hyperlocal news on Toronto subway outages or neighborhood disputes to a Windsor audience?

In the U.S., it seems basically every town of 20k or so has some local news programming, even if hilariously parochial and unprofessional.

CBC's local coverage used to be a lot better across Canada, but several rounds of cutbacks in recent decades have really diminished it.

Radio was cut as well but has held up better than TV which is way more expensive to produce.

The CTV affiliates handle local news much better than the CBC affiliates (CTV Windsor isn't available in Michigan though).
