Yup, there's a process for it, laid out in Canada's constitution; it would be extremely unlikely, but theoretically it could happen ... and as I said, this is a 4T, if it ever were to happen I could see some stars aligning. Certainly interesting times around here.
Most Americans (and I use that for brevity's sake) don't fully appreciate how populous Toronto really is. Though US cities tend to have a much larger metro area in relation to the actual urban population, within their respective city limits, Toronto is smaller than Los Angeles but larger than Chicago. Would any of the greater metro area join if Toronto decided to split? If that starts, I can see a lot of urban provinces: Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton perhaps, The Golden Horseshoe, with Windsor joining Toronto or Windsor on its own, Montreal and its surrounds, and even Ottawa. Messy.
