Ontario is no longer an empty region. Toronto filed. That is the true sentence. It is also the only one we can stand behind today.
The first Toronto stories say the same thing in two voices: this is not one city. Queen West is not the Annex. Leslieville is not the lakeshore. Kensington is not a skyline. You pick a slice and the rest becomes background. If you have lived there you did not need a magazine to tell you. The magazine needed the city to say it anyway.
There is still no Market Mayor in Toronto or Ottawa. There is no governor on this page. Canada is on the map; this province is not staffed. Inventing a name so the issue looks finished is how a magazine starts lying. The live seats remain the four American ones already publishing. Ontario is a door, not a finished issue.
Ottawa is still waiting for its first story. The rest of the province is still a list of cities. Read Toronto. Leave the chair empty until someone who actually lives there takes it.
