Can a city separate from a province? (lemmy.ca)

I keep seeing news about separatist movement in Alberta. My understanding is that some of their cities do not align with the province.

**Could a city, Edmonton for example, start a separatist movement to stay in Canada? **

On the same note, if the separatists win by a small margin, are they going to force it down to the rest of the population that want to stay Canadian? Or are they going to divide the province land with Canada?

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! I will read more on the Clarity Act and the history of constitutional reform (I see this being mentioned every time someone talk about electorate reform).

All bets are off if the US decides to pull a Donbas on us, of course.

That would be terrifying.
