How hard would it be for a province to actually exit Canada?
bluestem;
Top of the morning to you, I hope that the day in your part of Mississippi is looking a tad brighter than we're having but regardless of the sun or lack thereof, that you're well.
With the understanding that I'm the very farthest thing from a expert on such matters, I think it'd be doable but would require some effort.
There is no mechanism in the Constitution at present for secession or that's how I read this.
Constitutional amendments
3 (1) It is recognized that there is no right under the Constitution of Canada to effect the secession of a province from Canada unilaterally and that, therefore, an amendment to the Constitution of Canada would be required for any province to secede from Canada, which in turn would require negotiations involving at least the governments of all of the provinces and the Government of Canada.When Quebec had the referendum, if they'd voted to go, it would have necessitated the provinces meet and agree on an amendment that would lay out the mechanism by which that'd take place.
It's not impossible, but it would take some doing.
Hope that made sense and was useful.
All the best.
Dwayne
