  1. Personally I would like them to have their own volcano assuming the volcano would erupt on a regular and devastating manner every few months.

  2. As I never tire of repeating, a police man friend once recounted:
    “What’s the best thing about Toronto?”
    A: “Seeing it in the rear view mirror!”

  3. Well, there has been a separatist movement in Eastern Ontario for a long while. Not much happened. It would be
    better, certainly, if Toronto had its own province. Perhaps less damage would be done to the rest of Ontario;
    perhaps the rest of Ontario could then vote a sensible government.
    The heart of the Canadian comedy is that Toronto thinks that it is the intellectual and cultural capital of Canada;
    the essence of the Canadian tragedy is that this might be true.

  7. I must say I whole heartedly agree. Do the same with Montreal and Vancouver. And, in addition, reform a fully functional, elected Senate in which each ‘Province’ is represented by equal voice around the table. Equal by number that is… PEI= Toronto. Nunavut= Montreal (you colonial racist WASP/WFRC SOB’s).
    Jus’ not holdin’ my breath on this one. But think on the amount of ‘committee (ohhhhhh triple double letters word!!!) money’ to be spent!!!!

  8. Yes, Toronto should be its own nation, not just province. Because I could do nicely without all the liberal morons who live in Rosedale frigging up my country, thanks.
    We could build a wall around it too. A wall made of windmills and solar panels. We have some here in Cayuga we could donate.

  10. This makess sense, since the well-deserved hatred of everything Torontonian is a sacred tenet of Canadian identity it’s only fair they’re elevated to their own province. It is “Central Canada” after all.

  12. Just make Toronto an official reservation. That or a zoo for Progressivism.
    A Museum of Marxism gone bad.

  13. One only has to travel through Union Station from the GO trains (funds from Government of Ontario taxpayers) passing all the plywood partitions; possible safety matters; handwritten signs; to the TTC (Toronto Transit subways-subsidized by Ontario taxpayers and exurban users) to appreciate the ignorance and total disregard of the Ontario Government for exurban individual Ontario citizens not part of the bloated; proven corrupt; proven incompetent; that are not part of their Union based bought-off
    voting base.
    Whew! did not think I could fit the the total truth into one sentence. Cheers;

  15. There’s no need to do that. The prongs, shoplifters, natives and courts are doing their best to turn Kanader into a giant park beyond the urban areas.
    Resource industries are dirty and evil, and once outlawed, the serfs will have to leave the outback, to live in urban progressia.

  17. Many ,many Toronto residents also believe the city is the economic engine of Canada.
    But, if you subtracted all the government funded(taxpayer)salaries, what percentage of the Nation’s GDP is produced in Toronto?
    I’ve advocated for Toronto to become a City-State,by any other name, since it became clear in the early 90’s that most of the anti-gun hysteria emanated from residents of that city.
    Smug Torontonians don’t give a damn about how laws they force affect the ROC, just as long as they feel secure.

  20. No.
    We are one country and that we should remain.
    However, I wouldn’t be adverse to walling off the city and letting the inhabitants start eating one another. Nothing comes in and no one goes out. There can be cameras installed so one can watch and learn the fate of a city that was always too big for its britches.
    I say one hour after not getting a soy latte from Starbucks, the Toronto liberal will start spitting up blood.

  22. Well its true…there has not been a sense of “community” in Canada for decades. The US has lost it too.
    “Democracy is rule by mob as apposed to a republic which is rule by law”
    I think Saskatoon and Regina should be their own provinces as well, that way their “planners” will not be able to persuade gullible rural dwellers they can no longer use barb wire.

  23. It makes some sense to let them become a province – and there needs to be a simple method in the constitution to do it.
    Trouble would be deif in the borders as Toronto continues to expand. If it became a province forty years ago it would have had a border around the 401. Now it would be well west and north of that.
    But I think three provinces would make sense – northern Ontario – capital in the sault or north bay; eastern Ontario. Capital in Ottawa southern border somewhere east of Oshawa; and southern ontario with a northern border just south of north bay.
    Ditto Quebec.
    And then the potential for EEE senate becomes much more likely.

  26. Oh, come on, Kate! You can do better than that!

    I know, I know, it’s only Moon Unit Zappa, but at least that puts them a bit closer to the alternative universe in which they choose to live (OMG, GMWAS).

  27. “The sublime hubris of Toronto.”
    Love that line. What’s odd is that it’s coupled with an insufferable inferiority complex. I have never lived in another big city filled with so many people who so badly need to be told how awesome they are….

  28. “…Seeing it in the rear view mirror…”
    It’s also nice from 32,000 feet…at midnight…at 500 mph.

  29. Go for it! Looking at the electoral map of the province, the rural areas are all conservative ridings while the GTA is Liberal or NDP.

  30. Where do I sign for this to happen.
    I have thought for years that Toronto had overstayed its welcome. They tell us how we should live, while they soak us dry to live it up for themselves.
    The rest of the province can hardly stand the place. Nobody goes there anymore due to traffic, arrogance and danger.
    It is no longer “Toronto the Good”.
    Cut ’em loose! They can take the debt they created when they leave.

  31. They’re welcome to become their own province, maybe then they can stop dragging down the rest of the province with them. Then they can become their own bastion of liberalism surrounded by us “uncouth” conservatives in Ontario and bemoan the fact they can’t afford anything because of their massive debt load.

  32. Please, not a province. That will split the equalization payments even more. Maybe a territory like Guam, or better yet sell them to Buffalo or even Detroit!

  33. Our family advocated Toronto becoming a province, much like the city-states of Greece, over 30 years ago. But as another commentator suggested, this is a great opportunity to update the Canadian provincial fabric. How can tiny PEI be a province? When I visited in 1985, Charlottetown was only 45,000 people and the whole province was 135,000 people. Have these numbers changed much in the last 30 years? And I agree, lower mainland BC (aka Metro Vancouver) is completely different from the rest of the province and would make another great city-state. It is definitely about time to review.

  34. Not gonna happen but ya can dream……
    The GTA has the votes to wag the Ontario dog.
    The Librano/NDP GTA will not surrender Ontario….they own it and it is their rice bowl. Simple as that.
    It is irrelevant, to the GTA, that this situation is taxation etc without representation for non-GTA Ontario….
    Tain’t right, tain’t wrong, just is…….
