I know it's county borders, but how can anything east of Hamilton be part of southwestern Ontario?

East of Hamilton is Niagara, south of Hamilton is Haldimand and Norfolk counties. It's more in common with the rest of Southwestern Ontario than either Hamilton or Niagara region.

That section jutting to the south and east of Hamilton doesn't look right but as mentioned above perhaps its where it should be.

Perhaps, but if the discussion is mega-regions the Quebec - Windsor/Detroit corridor is very much one. Like all mega-regions there are bits with less people, farms, or nothing.

What makes this a mega region is the 22 million people (close to 27 million if you include Detroit) that live in a relatively linear path from one end to the other. It's a major thoroughfare for people and products. There are substantial economic (globally in the top 10), social, cultural, and political ties linking it together.
