Toronto isn't the capital of Canada, it's only a provincial capital. Ottawa is the federal capital. Both are located in the province of Ontario.
Before Ottawa became the national capital, there was no fixed city. The capital would move between two English speaking cities (Toronto and Kingston) and two french speaking ones (Montreal and Quebec City). Ottawa was eventually chosen because it was further from the US border and a more difficult target if there was ever a US attack. It was also located on a major river that flows downstream to other cities. It was strategically the best located for the needs of the time.

Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. Toronto is the capital city of the Province of Ontario.
AnswerPrior to Confederation (1867) Toronto had twice been the seat of government of the united Province of Canada (1849-1852; 1856-1858). Prior to that, Toronto had been the capital of the colony of Upper Canada. Toronto is currently the capital of the Province of Ontario, and has been such since Confederation.Toronto is, however, the financial capital of Canada, the cultural capital of English Canada, and the largest city in Canada.
(We Torontonians also like to claim that Toronto is the centre of the Universe.)
