It will never happen in Ontario period. Unless there is a total overhaul of the graduate licensing system with proper in class training.
Plus you would have to convince every Ontario cager with a "me first" attitude, that this is benifiting them.
Also convince the government that motorcycle transit can be beneficial. Not going to happen. They are only concerned about how your muffler sounds. The only way it would be legal is if the government can deepen their pockets somehow with its legalization.
I'd wish for it, but let's face it, you can't change centuries of doing things the wrong way.

Simply put, the Seasons don't allow for this. The cold and winter can't sustain enough 2-wheeled traffic to warrant any change. Yes there are people that can ride year-round, but vast majority of people ride from May to August at best. Even then, there aren't enough riders that would warrant a systemic change. Licensing is only a part of it. We're simply out numbered.
Lane splitting really does make sense. I've written to the Minister of Transportation about it, but one person's opinion will probably not make a dent. With enough pressure though, maybe we've got something.

in a city that almost elected a hash dealer? I'm amazed Toronto hasn't banned bikes by now.
Wrong city, you cannot expect to take lessons from successful cities around the world and apply them to the most American city in Canada.
It's a shame that cancer prevented us from voting for a legend. Robbie might have been crazy enough to legalize splitting and spliffing. A few photo ops and some "loud crack pipes save lives" shirts and we'd be rolling. Tory couldn't run a political party or even a radio show--good luck on actually leading a city that re-elected the same seat-warmer council as last time. He'll be too busy trying to shore up the crumbling infrastructure and pander to the developers. Oh well, at least the communists were kept at bay. No telling what junk science they were going to attack us with.
You and everyone here would be better off writing to your local MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) about it. They are the ones with the real power to legalize lane splitting. Send a copy of the California study with your letter.
Even if it were made legal, they don't teach drivers to be aware of lane splitters in drivers ed which means lots of cagers would hit them and not be at fault or have a good argument to contest charges in court.
