I'd merge all of the municipalities in the St. John's CMA into three cities.

If the agricultural/suburban subdivision neighbourhood of Goulds stays with St. John's:

St. John's (St. John's, Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove, Witless Bay, Bay Bulls)
Conception (Conception Bay South, Mount Pearl, Paradise, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's)
Torbay (Torbay, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Flatrock, Pouch Cove, Bauline)

If Goulds is given to Mount Pearl, as probably should've been the case anyway, then I'd only merge the suburban municipalities.

Mount Pearl (Mount Pearl plus Goulds, Conception Bay South, Paradise, Petty Harbour-Maddox Cove, Witless Bay, Bay Bulls)
Torbay (Torbay, Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, Logy Bay-Middle Cove-Outer Cove, Flatrock, Pouch Cove, Bauline)

And in either case I'd probably throw Holyrood into whichever includes Conception Bay South. It's not in the CMA for whatever reason but it's part of the unbroken exurban area around Conception Bay.
