If you read the Globe and Mail, it's all in "Waterloo".  They persist in describing everything technology-related as being in "Waterloo", even when it's in Kitchener.  In the past week, they've done it with both Miovision and Google.  It's quite annoying.

Just another reason we should amalgamate. At least the three cities. The reason they say waterloo is because the region has branded "Waterloo" as a tech centre with population of 600,000. Which is a smart move. They don't market Kitchener with 233 000 or Waterloo with 130,000.  It would make us look small and confuse potential investors. Big tech companies need to know that there will be enough potential employees to service the expansion in the region.  Who cares if they said waterloo. The point is that Google is expanding in the region which is great for everyone in the region and by making it publicly known that Google is investing in Waterloo tech hub maybe other big tech companies will look into the region and see the young talent exist here and also look to create a hub here. 

The reason people say Brampton or Mississauga is because they have a population to justify that. Brampton has over 500,000 and Mississauga has over 800,000.

I get it....  You missed the point that some of us are proud Kitchener residents..thats all...   They should never have made it the Region of Waterloo,  it should have been a different name  That was the additional point I was making...
