Ontario, a fair representation of Canada?

The most densely populated area of Canada is without doubt Southern Ontario. This small part of the country is home to over 12 million people as of 2008 according to statistics Canada. Ontario is also home to the national capital of Ottawa, the question becomes what truly is being Canadian? Such a diverse and open country becomes difficult for us to represent it. Are the citizens of Ontario a true representation of what Canada is or should we look to the praries or coastal areas for this identity. It is an interesting topic as the GTA has a larger population than British Columbia, in fact adding the populations of all other provinces and territiories equals only marginaly more than that of Ontario. Their is always concerns raised that each area of the country is not represented fairly at the national level, or that northern regions of Ontario are not represented fairly in provincial politics. With such a dense populations in one area though it is undeniable that Ontario and specifically Souther Ontario deserves the majority of the representation. What is being Candian? This is a difficult question but it seems that our representation model works as well as one can hope in this situation.
