I don't know why you folks are playing 'who got the best/worst' results of amalgamation.

We ALL lost big time! (Unless you happen to be a developer or in a related field or are the Ontario Finance Minister.)

The 'Burbs drained the City of it's industry, stores, restaurants, & vitality. In return the 'Burbs got rediculous tax increases & unending sprawl, traffic & lagging infrastructure. The City became a frequently neglected empty shell. The 'Burbs got traffic bloat, & big box stores.

Absolutely nobody in the GHA won anything much with amalgamation, & I wish people would stop trying to say that 1 area or the other came out benefiting from it. We all got screwed!
