I also wonder if the municipal-provincial dynamic is as bad as people suggest. The reality is that people in metro Toronto basically have to approve of any provincial government that gets elected. This is true of most of the large metros in each province. Some provinces have gotten stuck in a weird state where rural areas get disproportionate voting power and hold the balance of power too often, but I don't think Ontario is like this.

If we're talking about City of Toronto (416), it has what 22-25 MPPs, so it can't really decide Ontario elections all by itself, and holding the balance of power might happen from time to time but it's not a sure thing. It only voted in a few Doug Fordites, and yet they still won.
