It's a can of worms that should not be opened. Moreover an eleventh province is manifestly NOT in the interests of people outside Ontario. The constitutional change is never going to happen.

None draw up a budget until Toronto give these petulant children there hand outs.

It's going to the maritimes, Quebec, or other areas of the country. So I doubt that rural Ontario would suffer greatly from their own taxation system. Peter,

I’m fairly certain that the money that leaves Toronto isn’t going to the Northern communities in Ontario. It’s going to the maritimes, Quebec, or other areas of the country. So I doubt that rural Ontario would suffer greatly from their own taxation system.

This issue cuts boths ways. If it is done, it should be done to address political realities and not economics because Toronto will come out way ahead on the financial curve in the end. My guess is the rural population won't appreciate the economic consequences, but might go for it if it represents more political autonomy for their communities. It's a Catch 22 situation at best.
