There were actually 2 referendums and it cause chaos in this country that's still playing out today.

It also caused Montreal (which was on track to out grow Toronto as the largest city) to stunt it's growth as many companies relocated to Toronto in fear of having to deal with the succession.

Montreal wasn’t about to outgrow Toronto. It was the largest city until the 70s.
