Even as a born and raised Torontonian, I believe Hamilton should be on the other side of the Western limit of the GTA. Hamilton is it's own city, not a bedroom community. We have our own university, many colleges, hospitals and a strong business/manufacturing sector. Hamilton isn't some sprawl town suburb like Burlington, Oakville, Brampton, Oshawa, York Region, etc. In the same vein I'd also like to see Mississauga become more of it's own city, but I can't see that happening as long as the sprawl continues.
