On the provincial level of government the Progressive Conservatives Liberals and the New Democrats all hold electoral districts in the GTA. While the GTA provided a strong base of support for the Progressive Conservative government between 1995 and 2003 the Ontario Liberal Party roared to victory in the GTA during the 2003 election and has enjoyed strong support from the region ever since in the 2011 election the Liberals won 33 of the 44 available seats in the GTA allowing Premier Dalton McGuinty to hold onto a minority government the 2014 election under McGuinty's successor Kathleen Wynne was an even bigger electoral landslide for the Liberals as they won 38 seats in the region They even took a number of ridings in territory that had voted PC for decades like Durham Burlington Newmarket-Aurora and Halton the PCs hold no seats in the Peel Region and only one seat in each of the Halton York and Durham regions While the NDP has been weak in the GTA since the 1995 election they have seen some successes in Brampton and the Durham Region where they hold one seat each The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario has not won a riding in the city of Toronto during a general election since 1999 on the other end of the spectrum the NDP saw major losses in Toronto during the 2014 election and only hold two seats in the city This is no longer the case since the 2018 provincial election as the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP made significant gains at the expense of the Liberals Municipal politics, 2.6 Faculty of Science Some municipalities considered part of the GTA are not within the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) whose land area (5,904 km2 in 2006) and population (5,928,040 as of the 2016 census) is thus smaller than the land area and population of the GTA planning area for example Oshawa is the centre of its own CMA yet deemed part of the Greater Toronto Area while other municipalities such as New Tecumseth in southern Simcoe County and Mono Township in Dufferin County are included in the Toronto CMA but not in the GTA. These different border configurations result in the GTA's population being higher than the Toronto CMA by nearly one-half million people often leading to confusion amongst people when trying to sort out Toronto's urban population Other nearby urban areas such as Hamilton Barrie or St Catharines-Niagara and Kitchener-Waterloo are not part of the GTA or the Toronto CMA but form their own CMAs near the GTA. Ultimately all the aforementioned places are part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe metropolitan region an urban agglomeration, which is the fourth most populous in North America When the Hamilton Oshawa and Toronto CMAs are agglomerated with Brock and Scugog they have a population of 6,170,072. It is part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis containing an estimated 59 million people in 2011 Municipalities in Greater Toronto Area and related CMAs.
