This page has soooo much wrong with it. The United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry are not 'a' county they are three counties. They are united into one upper tier municipal government. Cornwall is within Stormont County but is not part of the United Counties. There are many things factually incorrect in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.15.175.222 ( talk) 13:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Population numbers still wrong. See Talk section of this article: /info/en/?search=List_of_municipalities_in_Ontario — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.233.135 ( talk) 19:14, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
Actually, lots still wrong because of how awkwardly it is written. It is incorrect to refer to this area as "the county". It's one upper tier government, that's true. It's also one census division. But there are three counties. I looked at the deed to my cottage which I recently purchased and it does indeed refer to the County it is in, not the upper tier government of the United Counties of SD&G. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.233.135 ( talk) 19:18, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
The new branding for SD&G is "The Counties". Note the plural. And whether they use plural or not, there still are three counties. The deed template is Provincial, by the way, not local to each county. Then the correct county must be used or it CANNOT be registered. So if there were no Glengarry County or Stormont County or Dundas County they could never be registered - but they are registered because these counties exist. I've seen dozens of deeds in this area and I've NEVER seen one that listed the county as Stormont, Dundas, & Glengarry because no such county exists in Ontario. I presume lawyers and realtors in the area have seen hundreds or thousands and I bet they would concur. Such a deed could never be registered, which is why you don't see it. Besides, this article is still awkwardly written. It bounces back and forth between the idea of a census area and an upper tier government. It should be written as either one or the other. The population number in the box in the upper right is an example. It gives the census area population. But under demographics the upper tier government population is used. I know I'm being a bit critical, and I will acknowledge there has been some improvement on this by Wikipedia over the years. But this isn't the only area. Look up a list of census areas in Canada on Wikipedia and then click on Hamilton, for example, and it will take you to a page about the city of Hamilton even though the listed item was the census metropolitan area of Hamilton. As these articles grew they grew as both descriptions of census areas and municipal governments, even though the two are distinct (though similar). Most of them are now this weird hybrid of two distinct entities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.233.135 ( talk) 21:42, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
