The Ottawa-Gatineau area is really the only one. It's closer to Montreal than to Toronto, but since this metropolitan area straddles the Ontario-Quebec line, it's the only city area where you'll find both English and French widely-spoken, with Gatineau being primarily francophone and Ottawa primarily anglophone.

Still others believe that she picked it because it had an almost even amount of French and English people and the queen didn't want to be bias.
