the Canadas" was formed in 1818 primarily by Scottish Associate Presbyterian missionaries yet independently of their mother denomination in the hope of including Presbyterian ministers of all stripes in Upper and Lower Canada Although successfully including members from Irish Associate and American Presbyterian and Reformed denominations the growing group of missionaries belonging to the Church of Scotland remained separate Instead in 1831 they formed their own "Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Canada in Connection with the Established Church of Scotland" That same year the "Presbytery of the Canadas" having grown and been re-organized became the "United Synod of Upper Canada" in its continued pursuit for Presbyterian unity (and a share of government funding from the Clergy Reserves for established churches) the United Synod sought a union with the Church of Scotland synod which it finally joined in 1840 However some ministers had left the United Synod prior to this merger (including notably Rev James Harris Rev William Jenkins and Rev Daniel Eastman) in the 1832 new Secessionist missionaries began to arrive belonging to "The United Associate Synod in Scotland" (after 1847 the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland) Committed to the voluntarist principle of rejecting government funding they decided against joining the "United Synod of Upper Canada" and on Christmas Day 1834 formed the "Missionary Presbytery of the Canadas" Although this new presbytery was formed at Rev James Harris's church in Toronto he and his congregation remained independent from it However the voluntarist Rev Jenkins and his congregation in Richmond Hill joined the Missionary Presbytery a few years later Rev Eastman had left the United Synod in 1833 to form the "Niagara Presbytery" of the Presbyterian Church in the USA After this presbytery dissolved following the Rebellion of 1837 he rejoined the United Synod which then joined the Church of Scotland Outside of these four Presbyterian denominations only two others gained a foothold in the province the small "Stamford Presbytery" of the American Secessionist tradition was formed in 1835 in the Niagara region and the Scottish Reformed Presbyterian or "Covenanter" tradition was represented in the province to an even lesser extent Despite the numerous denominations by the late 1830s the Church of Scotland was the main expression of Presbyterianism in Upper Canada Mennonites Tunkers Quakers and Children of Peace. 4 Global Policy Centers, Bishop Strachan School Federally the Conservatives Liberals and the New Democrats (NDP) all hold several electoral districts in the GTA the City of Toronto has often been supportive of the Liberal Party Traditionally Liberal support is strongest in Downtown Toronto while Conservative support is stronger in the surrounding communities outside Toronto the NDP also has a strong base within the GTA the Greater Toronto Area has the ability to influence election results and determine the governing party in Canada due in part to its large population and riding count From 1993 to 2011 a centre-right party failed to win a single seat in the former Metro Toronto in the 2011 election however a surge in NDP support combined with a collapse in Liberal support allowed the Conservatives to win eight seats in Toronto itself and another 24 in the suburbs Toronto's political leanings now appeared to mirror those of surrounding communities that leaned toward the Conservatives The election of 2011 showed Liberal support based on votes in the GTA had collapsed from 43.7% to 30.6% giving the Liberals only 14.9% of the local seats in the House of Commons However the support of the Conservatives and NDP increased accordingly with the Conservatives increasing their vote share from 31.5% to 42.2% (and capturing 68.1% of the GTA seats) and the NDP increasing from 14.6% to 23.2% of the vote and 17% of the local Federal ridings In the 2015 federal election the Liberals regained their dominance of the GTA after suffering devastating losses there four years earlier They defeated a number of prominent incumbents from both the NDP and the Conservatives the Liberals took all of Toronto itself They also took back almost all of the suburban ridings they had lost in 2011 Both the NDP and the Conservatives suffered heavily as their support collapsed in the inner city and the suburbs respectively Only a few Conservatives held onto their seats in the outer ring of the GTA while the NDP failed to elect any MPs in this area Federal Elections in the GTA 2000 2004 2006 2008

The term "Greater Toronto" was first used in writing as early as the 1900s although at the time the term only referred to the old City of Toronto and its immediate townships and villages which became Metropolitan Toronto in 1954 and became the current city of Toronto in 1998 the use of the term involving the four regional municipalities came into formal use in the mid-1980s after it was used in a widely discussed report on municipal governance restructuring in the region and was later made official as a provincial planning area However it did not come into everyday usage until the mid- to late 1990s In 2006 the term began to be supplanted in the field of spatial planning as provincial policy increasingly began to refer to either the "Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area" (GTHA)[a] or the still-broader "Greater Golden Horseshoe" the latter includes communities like Barrie Guelph Kitchener-Waterloo Cambridge and the Niagara Region the GTA continues however to be in official use elsewhere in the Government of Ontario such as the Ministry of Finance Census metropolitan area, The Family Compact is the epithet applied to an oligarchic group of men who exercised most of the political and judicial power in Upper Canada from the 1810s to the 1840s it was noted for its conservatism and opposition to democracy the uniting factors amongst the Compact were its loyalist tradition hierarchical class structure and adherence to the established Anglican Church Leaders such as John Beverley Robinson and John Strachan proclaimed it an ideal government especially as contrasted with the rowdy democracy in the nearby United States the Family Compact emerged from the War of 1812 and collapsed in the aftermath of the Rebellions of 1837 vte.
