We're a large country and people are mobile.

I suggest sticking to a general separatist strategy and advocating for political autonomy from the east.

If I owned some land where people could move to and get away from places like the GTA, would you relocate?

If it could guarantee the same quality of life, sure.

Remember, people still stick with Toronto because it offers them a chance at saving money so they could try relocating later.

Remaining in those places pretty much guarantees a lower quality of life in the long run. You will become a minority or already are, you will not have any preferential treatment in your job and will likely be discriminated against (see s15.2 of the Charter which already allows this), so what exactly do you have to lose? Start building the future you want somewhere where you will have autonomy and sustainability.

There’s your problem mate. The liberal-capitalist system relies on people being too comfortable to act or think of anything beyond buying more stuff.

If there gonna be change it will come with hard times, at least at first. Canada’s huge (speaking as a Scot), there’s plenty of places to build a life, though I wouldn’t blame you either for taking your family & leaving.
