I've quoted that and more previously here: #829Not exactly hard to find:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_and_territories_of_Canada#Territories
"Secession" and "creation of a new province" are not one and the same. *Joining Confederation as a Province* and *seceding from a Province* are two entirely different functions.I think his point was that, yes, secession, i.e. the creation of a new province, is possible
There is no legal mechanism within Ontario (or any other province that I know of) that provides for secession of territory.
If you know of a mechanism, then please supply it, as I've asked others previously to no reply. What would be a curious legal construct is what if a secession from a province did happen? What then? Would it be recognized as a *Territory* by Parliament? Not such a bad outcome, all things considered. But it's a surreal construction, there is no mechanism in Ontario for secession, or expulsion for that matter.
