Toronto data missing city name about machine HOT 6 CLOSED

Future data-related tickets like this should go in openaddresses, not this repo.

Thanks for pointing this out! I made openaddresses/openaddresses#4294 to add the municipality name in the city column of the output here.

@iandees My fault. Thank you for responding quickly

We will try to help with Canadian addresses wherever we can (we are building a real estate app for Canada). Keep this project alive and strong! It's one of its kind and incredibly valuable to people.

Thanks for saying so, @Valachio!

I looked at the city name in the data, and the most common value is “former Toronto”. Does that sound right to you?

	Most common values:    former Toronto (157401x)
	                       Scarborough (123906x)
	                       North York (114222x)
	                       Etobicoke (73521x)
	                       York (32476x)

@migurski You can safely change "former Toronto" to just "Toronto". Or keep it for maximum clarity, since it is fairly straightforward to clean.

Former Toronto in this case refers to the original part of Toronto before amalgamation in 1998. The locals do not refer to this part as former Toronto or old Toronto - we just call it Toronto.

Thanks for the explanation. I think we should leave this alone so we’re not special-casing places, but I appreciate the local history check.
