There are several major cities and commerce centres in Ontario. Toronto is probably the most obvious. Ottawa is another urban centre in Ontario. Toronto is great because it is in such close proximity to the US.

All in all, there is the better part of 13 million "Ontarians" as they are called (fancy lingo for folks who live in Ontario). Ontario also borders the great lakes, which makes Ontario an awesome place to enjoy outdoor activities and water sports. Vacation rentals are quite popular in Ontario. Many folks rent out their cabins, or lakeside condominiums during times that they aren't using them.

Ok, time for a statistic - did you know that only 100 years ago, the population of Ontario was estimated at only about 2 and a half million residents? Compared to over 13 million now, that is quite an increase for just 100 years!

Besides Toronto, the ten most populous metro areas in Ontario happen to be: Ottawa-Gatineau, Hamilton, London, Kitchener, St. Catharines, Oshawa, Windsor, Barrie, and Greater Sudbury. These cities make up the bulk of the commerce and economic power of Ontario, and naturally, make up the bulk of the rental market as well. These cities are chock full of elegant lofts, high-rise apartment buildings, fancy condominiums, and suburban home rentals.

Manufacturing happens to be the principal industry in Ontario, found mainly in the Golden Horseshoe region, which is the largest industrial region of Ontario. The Golden horseshoe is a very densely populated region of southern Ontario that is highly industrialized.
