If we are going to kick the poorest regions out of Ontario, might as well throw out places like Rexdale and Jane-Finch as well. The rich get richer, I don't mind that at all.
Good luck getting the maritime provinces to give up in their provincial identities. Besides, what's going to happen to all the Newfie jokes?I've played with the idea of redistributing Canada myself:

New? Prime Minister Chretien got the Canadian constitution amended for that one back in 2001?I am amused though by the new province of "Newfoudland and Labrador" which seems to have the same boundaries as Newfoundland and Labrador.![]()
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums. Haljackey posted this thread on Facebook and I found it really interesting, so I had a stab at it.
Here's what I think is likely to happen: Turks & Caicos, and Iceland, both join Canada as provinces.
More speculatively: BC joins WA and OR to form Cascadia.
AK joins Canada because it's tired of being ignored by the US feds and AK's need for climate change adaptation.
VT and MN also join Canada as they see the benefit of medicare, and enhanced environmental protection that isn't bulldozed by the feds.
AB leaves, falls on its face because of over-reliance on oil, then joins Canada again.
I've done a version 2:
CANADIAN FEDERATION
CANADA
Provinces
Vancouver - Victoria
British Columbia - Prince George
Alberta - Edmonton
Saskatchewan - Regina
Manitoba - Winnipeg
Northern Ontario - Thunder Bay
Southern Ontario - Toronto
Acadia - Amherst
Newfoundland - St. John's
Territories
Yukon - Whitehorse
Northwest Terrirory - Yellowknife
Nunavut - Iqualuit
Ungava - Kuujjuaq
QUEBEC - Quebec City
MONTREAL (Special Administrative District)
Very similar to what I had proposed, so naturally I like it, haha. Different names, but same idea.
Is your border between Northern and Southern Ontario the southern edge of Nippissing and Parry Sound Districts too? Or did you have something else in mind?
Yup, I pretty much followed the southern boundaries of the Nippishing, Parry sound, and Renfrew districts as a guide. The Quebec part of Ungava also mimics the Nord-Du Quebec border.
It was a district in the NWT in the late 1800s and early 1900s with roughly the same borders.

And I used Keewatin for Northern Ontario because that was the name of the former district in that area (before the extension of Ontario and Manitoba to their current borders).
