Where exactly would that be?
And Ontario has the highest wolf population? Maybe Farley Mowat has a new book out.

I do a lot of hunting near Parry Sound and surrounding areas. I have not seen a full blown wolf in at least 10 years. I have seen coywolfs,coyotes,"redwolves"brush wolves (all the same for the most part) but last real "wolf" I seen was during moose hunting and my dad shot it. Weighted about 90lbs and was mostly grey and white. I think you have to go farther north for any real wolf population in "Southern Ontario"

Nah, actually some guy named Barry Holstrom Lopez, Of wolves and Men. Makes some interesting and valid points, but a Leftie Protectionist in the end. I'm a firm believer in Know thy Enemy and I'll take information where I can find it.
At least willing to concede a wolf isn't a vegetarian and not above chowing down on Homo Sapien on occasion. Grizz

I generally hear of a "coast" referred to as being by an ocean. Along the great lakes it's generally called a "shore", but I guess Ontarians would like to be known for something other than Toronto, so call it as you wish.
depends who the author is. the author of a study for the algonquin red wolf included coyotes more than wolves in statistic so he could get more funding. government still took his advice but also cut out his funding for the study.reason why the wolf quoto for any wmu that borders the park.
The book the OP is reading (which I had never heard of before) was written in 1978. Much has changed since then but I recently looked up the population DENSITY of wolves for ~15 different studies across North America as part of a discussion on wolf management in Sweden and the highest I found was from the Algonquin area. Based on my experience in northwestern ON and here in BC I'm confident there are areas elsewhere in Canada with higher wolf ABUNDANCE. Of course the chance exists for higher density in unstudied areas but I'm not a fan of speculation.

Just into a book on wolves where the author claims the most wolves in Canada are in southern Ontario, by which I assume he means north of Toronto, not the Ontarian view of the world.

Absolutely ludicrous. The guy has no idea what he's talking about.
The Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon have 5,000 wolves each, British Columbia has 8,500 wolves, Alberta 4,200, Saskatchewan 4,300, Manitoba 4,000-6,000, Ontario 9,000, Quebec 5,000 and Labrador 2,000. (Wiki)
By far, most of the wolves in Ontario are in the North. Southern Ontario is from Hamilton to Owen Sound (?) to Windsor, so this guy needs a crowbar to pull his head ouut.
Gonna have to find this book. It sounds like a page turner!

^ lol, no kidding. The 'north of Toronto" comment made me laugh. Some people don't realize how far "North", "Southern Ontario" is, others just don't get out much.

The rest is Northern, Eastern and Central. And yeah, I grew up there. You're also missing the point and nit-picking at semantics. Good work.
Even if you go Parry Sound to Ottawa, the initial statement is ludicrous. I can't find the book online, so maybe the OP can quote the particular passage from this Canis Lupus Bible?
