This might be a solution for Vancouver , but not Montreal . Quebec will never let Montreal separate from it . It ' s a political issue there . Quebec would lose power and influence and its only important city . Ottawa would also move to prevent that from happening because a Quebec without Montreal is a Quebec with a majority of potential separatists , and they would win an independence referendum . But we ' re talking about Toronto . It ' s bigger than Montreal . There ' s no good political reason not to split it off from Ontario . It hasn ' t happened because nobody in government thinks outside the box here .
