Becoming a full blown province would be difficult, but what about becoming a territory or some kind of special autonomous region?
^This! Haven't accessed the links yet, but will immediately. Had to comment on how you're finding a way to effect change. This is ultimately what Keesmaat will have to do, and ostensibly will.I'm no lawyer or constitutional scholar but I did find this:

If true, while a constitutional amendment might be best, it may not be the only way forward. Regardless though, I don't think going all the way through to a full secession is required. What is needed is enough support and momentum that it forces the province to sit down and negotiate a way to give Toronto some form of semi-autonomy within Ontario.
Edited to add:
Some info on how this has played out in the past:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposal_for_the_Province_of_Toronto
If you read through to the end it indicates that the last time we tried this was largely responsible for the City of Toronto Act. Maybe time to start pushing again.
Excellent digging btw! I'll comment later after reading your links.
Edit to Add: Unfortunately, both links describe suppositions, not fact.
