Biggest Cities in Ontario on the Map

Ontario is the Great Lakes powerhouse of Canada, and is home to industry, government and a good chunk of Canada's population, whom all huddle in the south for warmth (or maybe because word got out because of the excellent chip trucks and beavertails to be found here).

Can you name the 20 biggest population-centres in the land of bagged-milk?

Not including cities within the metro area of city #1

Weird. Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington are treated as part of Toronto and Hamilton but Kanata is separate from Ottawa.

Yes, I'm not sure why. Google maps shows that both are disconnected from the respective cities, despite basically being suburbs. They are also in different regional municipalities compared to Ottawa and the rest of the GTA. Niche guesses aside, I kept my source because I couldn't find any better source elsewhere.

I ended up manually adding Milton, Oshawa and Bowmanville to Toronto, and Kanata to Ottawa. It makes sense why they are counted separately when you look at the criteria for population centres, but for quiz-taking it isn't very fun.
