Additionally, Ontario is the trial state for a lot of this.

There are technical reasons that lots of betas / new software get tried out in Toronto first (such as Google street labs, which got canned). It’s a first world, large city, with broad demographics. So from a corporate perspective, it serves as a great litmus test to see how different things demoed there will be received in other markets.

I think this is why Ontario has been the tip of the spear as far as policy goes. See what they can get away with, then roll out to other provinces.
