I spent my first four decades in Toronto before leaving the cold and snow behind for California. I too call it Toronto and never heard anyone call it Toronna. Not sure where that misconception came from.
I am born and raised in Toronto , with a 18 year stint in southwest Ontario. I call it Toronto not Toronnna as do most people living here, it seems the rest of Canada is fixated with this misconception, much like how the Ammerriccannss like to say we the Canadian dish of choice is Poutine.
Also Toronto's team is not the Leafs but the Blue Jays which we grudgingly share with the rest of Canada.
I'm from Saskatoon. We pronounce it S'toon. Then we break into The Guess Who's, Runnin' Back To Saskatoon...and if people are really lucky, we throw in the Louis Riel jig.
The Louis Riel Jig can be a bit of a stretch.

Of course, I rarely hear Toronto referred to now as "Hogtown" - and that was quite prevalent back in the day.
Yup, I remember 'Hogtown'. Do you remember 'The Big Smoke'? A somewhat derogatory term.

I call it Home.
If the Canucks aren't involved, I still cheer for the Leafs.
