Is there a city called Ontario in Canada, or do you mean the Province?

I ask because I have always thought there is not such a city, but I've heard 
people talk about Ontario as if it were a city (and not one of the cities 
called Ontario in the USA)... and well, I'm just wondering.

Ontario is a province. It happens to have Canada's capital city, Ottawa, 
and also one of Canada's three largest cities, Toronto.  I seem to 
remember it was once put to me that either "Ontario" or "Toronto" 
derives from an native American expression meaning roughly, "Big Stone 
by the Water"...

I have never been able to confirm either possibility. But I always 
mention it when New Yorkers tell me that Manhattan derives from the 
native expression, "Place where we all got drunk"
