The Montreal de-merger was dumb. Places like Westmount already get a lot of their services from the City of Montreal, so what's the fuss over being separate?

Halifax's RM seems a bit ridiculous. How did they figure Sheet Harbour fits within Halifax, at 90 minutes away? How would it even be in the CMA? I get merging Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Timberlea, the Sackvilles, etc but the RM extends way too far IMO.

I'm on the fence about Toronto's. In a lot of ways it makes sense, as it was basically Metro Toronto turning into the new City of Toronto, and by the time it happened places like Etobicoke were maturing in a way that the 905 was not. But it also provides issues, like Rob Ford, and pandering to more suburban needs at the expense of the core city. I think having the 3 Yorks merge with Old Toronto makes sense, but I'm iffy about Scarborough and Etobicoke.

Vancouver needs a Toronto-style amalgamation, with the City of Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, and maybe Richmond.
