Considering that there is both a London and a Paris here in Ontario. There's even a Tottenham north of Toronto, a small town surrounded by peaceful farmland, with nary a looter in sight.

Every year I read a story about some fool who thinks they're getting a cheap holiday in Australia, but wind up booking a week in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Details matter.

London, England is one of the most populous, and culturally and economically important, cities in the world. London, Ontario is not. London, Ontario requires the suffix; "London" on its own refers to the city in England.

It's like, if I talk about Bruce Willis, then it's pretty obvious I'm referring to the movie star rather than some nonentity who happens to be called Bruce Willis.
