Parliamentary self-government was granted in 1848 There were heavy waves of immigration in the 1840s and the population of Canada West more than doubled by 1851 over the previous decade As a result for the first time the English-speaking population of Canada West surpassed the French-speaking population of Canada East tilting the representative balance of power An economic boom in the 1850s coincided with railway expansion across the province further increasing the economic strength of Central Canada With the repeal of the Corn Laws and a reciprocity agreement in place with the United States various industries such as timber mining farming and alcohol distilling benefited tremendously A political stalemate between the French- and English-speaking legislators as well as fear of aggression from the United States during and immediately after the American Civil War led the political elite to hold a series of conferences in the 1860s to effect a broader federal union of all British North American colonies the British North America Act took effect on July 1 1867 establishing the Dominion of Canada initially with four provinces: Nova Scotia New Brunswick Quebec and Ontario the Province of Canada was divided into Ontario and Quebec so that each linguistic group would have its own province Both Quebec and Ontario were required by section 93 of the British North America Act to safeguard existing educational rights and privileges of Protestant and the Catholic minority Thus separate Catholic schools and school boards were permitted in Ontario However neither province had a constitutional requirement to protect its French- or English-speaking minority Toronto was formally established as Ontario's provincial capital Provincehood.

In 1992 the Ontario government passed legislation requiring Metropolitan Toronto to include the rest of the Greater Toronto Area into its planning. Despite this however there was fear different parts of the municipal system were working against one another Because of this Bob Rae then the Premier of Ontario appointed Anne Golden to head a GTA task force to govern the region's quality of life competitiveness and governance. During this time the Metro Toronto government advocated to the task force the creation of a new GTA authority which would be made up of 21 of the 30 existing municipalities in the GTA at the time the proposal from Metro Toronto would have resulted in 15 new municipalities the City of Mississauga argued consolidation should only take place in such a way the new municipalities would have a population between 400,000 and 800,000 the Town of Markham had similarly advocated municipal consolidation in York Region although it was opposed to complete consolidation into a single municipality Municipal consolidation faced stiff opposition however from smaller communities such as Ajax Milton and the borough of East York the task force's recommendation to eliminate the Metro Toronto government and consolidate its remaining municipalities into an enlarged City of Toronto was completed in 1997 under Mike Harris' Common Sense Revolution. However the task force's recommendation to create a GTA-tier municipality was not taken up by the Harris government fearing a GTA-wide municipality would recreate the inter-municipal competitiveness that was believed to have impaired the former Metro Toronto government Metrolinx was established to oversee public transit development across the Greater Toronto Area Geography, Hotel Prague 24 Finland Kasperi Kapanen RW R 23 2015 Kuopio Finland, East York Board of Education.
