I always thought of Southwest Ontario as Fort Frances area.

Nope. Definitely Western Ontario.
Northen Ontario would be Timmins, Cochrane, Hearst regions.

Not so much geographical directions.

This is all based on Toronto being the centre of the universe, or so they think :p

Actually Fort Frances is in the North-West region of Ontario. :)
From Wikipedia: Fort Frances is a town in, and the seat of, Rainy River District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The population as of the 2011 census was 7,952.

How can a town that sits on the southern border of Ontario be considered North, any farther south and you would be in International Falls.:R Looks like Pele Island is the Southern most point in Ontario.

I guess what surprised me the most about the area around Toronto was all the tobacco that was grown in the area.

Ontario is one VERY large province and it ranks 5th.

Because while it's technically a bottom border, it's still **** far north in the province, and is actually in the north west part of the province.

Tobacco is grown a good two hours from Toronto, not around the city.

Ranks 5th in what?

Provence size according to Rand McNally. To me 2 hours is close to Toronto, that's why I said in the area. I don't think of tobacco as a Northen crop. Not to argue the point but there were tobacco fields close to Simcoe and Walsingham.

I thought the statement (Ontario is one VERY large province and it ranks 5th) was self explanatory, my bad for not elaborating eh.

You still haven't elaborated. Ontario ranks fifth in...
penguin population?
volcanic activity?
number of palm trees?
tea drinking? (well, could be that, I live here!)

Fifth in what? It's the second largest Canadian province, it's the largest Canadian province by population, second largest producer of maple syrup (in both Canada and the world). So what is it fifth in and what is it being compared to?

And tobacco is not a northern crop. I'm well aware it grows around Simcoe. That is about two hours from Toronto.

Land area 354,342 Sq miles (rank 5th) according to Rand McNally. Quebec 527,079 Sq Miles (rank 2nd) according to Rand McNally.

Rand McNally does not rate penguin population, volcanic activity, palm trees or tea drinking. I'll take your word on those. I did not realize you didn't understand what Rand McNally does, they make maps and atlas's. They have been making Rand McNally road atlas since 1924. I would be glad to explain why I chose Toronto as a reference point. Most US forum members do not know small towns in Canada, so to explain where something is you use a reference point. Toronto is the closest reference point to the area. Hence why I said in the Toronto area, NOT in Toronto. Anything else I can help you with?

Fifth (and second for Quebec) in RELATION TO WHAT????? Seriously, you make no sense. And I'm well aware what Rand McNally does. I'm also aware what a reference point is. And two hours from somewhere is not really a good reference point.
