wild goose chase

Inspired by discussion of this map putting Mississauga and Brampton in a category together with Toronto, to the exclusion of the rest of the GTA in the Regions of Ontario thread.
Which of the four do you think is closer to the city itself? Mississauga has the airport of course and it and Brampton are the largest "suburbs" of Toronto, but a case could also be made for the York region municipalities that hold what are also considered our northern suburbs (Vaughan, Markham etc.); York region also is getting the subway extension that will link it to the city directly, plus the region has Yonge street passing through itself after all. When it comes to the remaining two regions -- Durham and Halton, the former does have a border with the city in Scarborough, though separated a bit by Rouge Park, and the latter region does not border the city at all, and though still tied to it in a suburban sense by way of Peel, also veers towards Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo and Hamilton.
