Gloucester, Ontario native....it's freaking Ottawa! It'd be like saying the Manhattan, New York native...it's not a city! Just a little bone I like to pick- we have all these people from Ottawa, but instead of saying the city they're from, so often a news outlet will list their freaking neighbourhood; Kanata, Gloucester, Orleans...it's all Ottawa. Not that it's really relevant to anything.

Except we do that because a) it's a different zip code and b) if you were from Manhattan you'd want everyone to know you weren't from Harlem.
