I think the same thing kind of applies when people mention Southern Ontario and Northern Ontario seperating, no where else in Canada do you have two fairly large populations with a significant divide of rural and urban.
Would a de-amalgamation vote in Tornoto succeed?

Every largish city is divided to some degree: rich vs. poor, tough East end London (UK) vs. the ritzy west end, French vs. English (Montreal), aboriginal vs. non-aboriginal (Winnipeg), black vs. white (most US cities), anglo vs. hispanic vs. black vs. Asian (Los Angeles), wrong side of the tracks vs. good part of town, etc.
Toronto is far from unique in this respect.
