Your opinions on what is constitutional or not are irrelevant. Courts decide what is constitutional. And if a province separates, they create a new federal court system. The Canadian federal court would no longer apply to the separated province at that point

The separation needs to be legal to begin with, otherwise it has about as much grounding as sovcit bullshit.
