#5 Northern Ontario Tried To Separate
If you thought the north and south of the USA had issues, then you don't know anything about Canada's history. In the 1970s, Northern Ontario attempted to form its own province. This idea was devised by the Northern Ontario Heritage Party and though the plan had some momentum, they were able to bring itto fruition.

He felt that a separate province would increase the economic growth of the north.
