The city of Ottawa is the capital and the heart of Canada. Canada's capital was chosen by Queen Victoria at that time. Canada was centrally located between the cities of Montreal and Toronto, and was along the border of Ontario and Quebec. Queen chose Ottawa as a capital of Canada because the Ottawa was not in Toronto or Montreal or in Quebec. And because Ottawa is bordering between the two colonies and with mainly french and British population, which made it easy because they won't favor either of them. In past Ottawa knows as Bytown.

The municipal restructuring in Ontario from 1996 to 1999, whether voluntary or involuntary, was the most comprehensive process of municipal reforms since the Baldwin Act of 1849 (Frisken 30). After the election of Harris’ Conservative government in 1995, municipal reform took on a life of its own as it was followed with substantial activity between 1996 and 1999 (Sancton 135-56). This research paper looks to categorize, describe and evaluate the substantial activity that took place between the province and its municipal subordinates. While other papers have argued whether the change of the fiscal relationship was to benefit the province or if the structure of local government had simply become outdated, the issues of why the reforms occurred is not the focus of this research. However, what this paper will evaluate is whether the substantial activity made any long-term changes in the system by outlining the numerous reforms and examining their impact. This paper will begin by assessing the financial reform, which was the starting point for more extensive changes, followed by functional, structural and legislative reforms during 1996 to 1999.
The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is not the best method of transportation in the city of Toronto, because it’s unreliable, inconvenient, and unsanitary. First of all, the TTC is unreliable because of many delays. The TTC buses often come late and there are many subway breakdowns and signal problems. These problems can cause longer wait times and result in the rider being late. Additionally, the TTC is inconvenient because it is difficult for the rider to get to his or her destination without a few transfers. In addition, there are very few direct routes and limited area coverage. For example, there are some areas where passengers have to walk long distances just to get to the bus stop. These problems can result in many transfers and cause

Quebec is the largest Canadian province, with the second largest population and economy after that of Ontario.

The 1763 signing of the Treaty o Paris essentially sealed this acquisition of Canada by the Great Britain.
