Ontario

Ontario is a province in central Canada, bordered by Quebec to the east, Manitoba to the west, and the US states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York to the south. The provincial capital is Toronto, which is also Canada's largest city and financial centre. Ontario is Canada's most populous province, home to more than 14-million people, and its second-largest by total area. The province has a highly diversified economy, with key sectors including manufacturing, finance, technology, mining and forestry. Ontario is a major gold-producing jurisdiction, hosting significant mining operations in the Abitibi greenstone belt and other mineral-rich districts in the northern part of the province. The automotive sector is concentrated in southern Ontario, particularly around Toronto and Windsor, while the province's natural resources sector drives economic activity in the north. Ontario generates substantial hydroelectric power from facilities such as those at Niagara Falls and along the Ottawa River. The province is governed by a unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and is a member of the Canadian Confederation. Ontario's economy is closely integrated with that of the United States, particularly through cross-border trade and the Great Lakes shipping network.
