The following 2 are not changed, as per my previous comment that I
will not update the name if it does not exist in NRCan without further
review here.
1) 3 City of Vaughan (Maple)
Probably "Maple" should in the addr:suburb field instead?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple,_Ontario
2) 6165 City of Prince Edward County
There is a "Prince Edward" as a City in Ontario not "Prince Edward
County" as a city. Need to drop the word "County"

To start the cleanup process, the following *Ontario* cities are
being changed (remove "City of" or "City Of"). Once that is done,
I'll come back with the next batch to process...
The idea to remove the city name in its entirety will require
careful consideration to ensure the necessary boundary relations are
in place and of course more discussion to see if people are
comfortable to proceed on that kind of activity.

Bernie is correct. "City of", "Municipality of", "x County" is a
legal name that would be referring to the legal entity itself (the
Government) rather than the place. The place should just be
Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga etc..
The data source these legal names comes from has the legal name as
it's usually establishing the jurisdiction that contains the road.
The address ranges are derived from the road system, so it's just
been copied over.

I see the use of "City of" as indicating the official name of a
municipality as it is defined in legislation. Here in New
Brunswick the Municipalities Act defines the official names of
municipalities. Some opt to use "City of ", "Town of ", etc in
the Municipalities Act and some don't. But when it comes to
names on maps we should be more concerned with toponyms and not
official names. The use of "City of ", "Town of ", etc is very
rare in toponyms. Here is a query on the Canadian Geographic
Names Database searching for the term "of" in the "populated
places" category -

I only see two examples that include "City of ", "Town of ",
etc across the entire country:
City of Brant, ON
Village of Queen Charlotte, BC
