Yep Kik is in Waterloo, and Waterloo is actually 70 miles away.

I've lived in both cities and I have never heard anyone refer to Waterloo being in the GTA. They are both very distinct cities, and even on good days it takes about 90 minutes to drive between them, and it is even worse during rush hour.
