Only if you think Ontario is the bit surrounding Toronto.

I'd happily agree that a small majority of voters in Ontario generally support a slightly higher level of taxation and social spending than is found in, say, the United States, while still periodically electing governments who run on austerity platforms and cut social spending aggressively. That, I think, is more accurate.
