I often wonder why Canada was so scared to break away from Great Britain.
Heck, it wasn't till 1967 that we became an independent country. I heard
from a good friend who was a diplomat, that it was Britain that decided who
forced Canada to separate and stand on their own two feet.
Better make that 1867 idiot!
I am sorry, make that 1982
In 1982 Canada patriated its constitution and entrenched within it the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, through the Constitution Act,
1982. By the Canada Act 1982, the British Parliament, acting at the
request and with the consent of Canada, enacted the Constitution Act
1982, which established a procedure for the amendment of the Canadian
constitution by the Canadian Parliament.
Must suck to have to ask Mommy permission to do everything.
