Greater Toronto could become it's own province. Big cities operate separately from the provinces in other countries (like China) and it seems to work well.
If we wanted to, Ottawa-Gateneau could become a federal district as well.

I agree - I have long believed the Greater Toronto Area needs to separate and become its own province. The rest of Ontario has suffered long enough from the provincial government showering the GTA with riches and Toronto-friendly policies that screw over Northern Ontario, rural Southern Ontario, and smaller cities such as London. The economic prospects of this part of Ontario are so bad compared to the GTA that yet another one of my 20-something friends has just left London for greener pastures in the Toronto area.
The Ottawa-Gatineau area being a federal district would be a neat idea, although Quebec sovereignists would be pissed.
