Will the United States exist for the remainder of human history simply because "there is no handy 'process'" by which states can secede? The idea is silly. I'm not sure why you're telling me your silly idea, I didn't say that. Canada has had a reasonably recent, nearly successful political secessionist movement and two effectively failed efforts at constitutional reform to address it. Secession is not a settled issue in Canada the way it is in the US which is why it has a different valence in that context.
