BIG hammer and piece of wood. Pound it off. I've seen people rig up a bottle jack against the frame and tire and push them apart. I've also seen people winch off stuck wheels. Be creative and you'll get it off.
This same thing happened on a mythbuster's show. They took a large object, i forget what it was, and just used it as a battering ram and hit the lower part of the tire and it popped off.

Try carefully letting it down off the jack, but don't let off the jack or let it roll!!!
The car weight should break the bond, but again, be carefull.

do you mean take the wheel nuts off, and then let it down carefully?

Just loosen them if you're not comfortable with taking them clear off. You only need two to keep the wheel from coming off.
Let me ask a question: did you have the wheel on the ground when you broke the lugnuts loose? That's when most wheel / drum bonds are broken and why I always break the nuts loose with weight on the tire.
The caution to let it down carefully was because you can break studs if you just let 'er drop.

I use a 16 pound sledge and a chunk of 4x4 wood. Lean the wood against the tire and tap it with the hammer. Always does the trick for me.

Do you drink beer? That's always an excuse to buy a sledge hammer. It makes a good can crusher.

OOOPs!
I didn't notice you were in Canada.
If you have a Harbor Freight tools store nearby (don't know if they are in Canada), catch her off guard by going to it for the hammer.
