Yeah, we had an east versus west thing here too. It was called the Rebellion of 1837. (There were two rebellions actually, but back in those daze, nobody kept score.)
They hanged a good friend of mine - Sam Lount, for insurrection against the Crown. There were other Americans involved too! They packed a bunch of them off to Australia. 'Tis true, arrrr!
Sam Lount and Peter Matthews - hanged on April 12, 1838!
Samuel Lount, blacksmith, businessman, politician and patriot was born in Catawissa, Pennsylvania on September 24th, 1791.
In 1815, he married Elizabeth Soules and the couple had seven children. The Lounts came to Upper Canada (Ontario) in 1818 and settled first in Newmarket where Samuel kept a tavern. He was a skilled woodsman and worked closely with his brother, George during the latter's survey of the townships of West Gwillimbury, Tecumseh, and Innisfil. From Newmarket the Lounts moved to Whitchurch, then to Holland Landing where they settled in 1822.

One thing I will say about the rebellion, the food was better than in 1812. British cooks suck at things like...um, cooking! (And to any Brits that may be tuning in, mutton and crap fried in mutton fat gets old, quick!)
