the other regional thing we need is a more integrated police force, and probably a more integraded education system.

I seriously don't understand why north america splits it's cities up like they do.

Toronto realistically has 6 million but the city is only 2.8 million.

Vancouver realistically is 2.5 million people, not 600k like the census states.

Why do we have a metro area instead of one large city? What purpose does that serve?
