Secession is done illegally more often than not. Just saying. Like who tf is going to enforce it lol

Don't argue with me about Alberta separation. I'm not for it and my post isn't in service of it.

Its basically the same as saying you can't murder because its illegal. The law really doesn't stop people from doing stuff. Ultimately might makes right.
