@ottaross We used to live in Carleton county, but that was replaced by a Regional Municipality - Ottawa-Carleton and then, of course, Harris replaced that with a single city - Ottawa.Growing up in rural Ottawa-Carleton, it was all about the township. I lived in Osgoode township, a broad area that included Osgoode and Metcalfe villages and a whole lot of cows. The township had a council and mayor, rather than each tiny village.In Ontario, I tend to see counties as rural administrative constructs - Lanark County, Prince Edward County, etc. As they grow they get divided up into townships and then turn into municipalities.Meanwhile, in the US, everybody seems to live and breath their county, don't they? They put them on their weather maps. I've never seen county boundaries on a Canadian weather map.
