Toronto isn't in Southwestern Ontario though.
I’d consider any of the pan handle to be part that
To differentiate from Southeastern like Kingston
Like Fort Frances is on the border and it’s Western Ontario but you would still call it Northern
I say this toung-in-cheek, but we all know nothing about Toronto is anything except the center (of the universe).
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).
