Toronto is definitively south-central, though nobody calls it that, instead saying GTA/GTHA/Golden Horseshoe, etc. I can't find any sources that say Toronto is in Southwestern Ontario, so I don't think there's any support for what your saying (Wikipedia, Ontario Tourism for 2 counter examples).

Like Fort Frances is on the border and it’s Western Ontario but you would still call it Northern

Yes, because we first divide Ontario into Northern & Southern. If you just said Fort Frances was in Western Ontario, it would cause confusion which is why it's "Northwestern Ontario" (EDIT Wikipedia also agrees with me on this one).
