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!

Actually, he is right. 1867 Confederation of Canada was formed as part
of the British North American Act. The Dominion of Canada. But still,
Canada was a colony of the United Kingdom.

In 1931 The Stature of Westminister gave Caanda much more autonomy. But
still, king or Queen still had to rubber stamp everything.

1967 came and went, 95+% of Canadians would miss this. Lester still had
to kiss royalties butt. 1967 is meaningless other thant 100 years a the
Confederation of Canada anwering up to the UK as the Dominion of Canada.

In 1982 as an act of British Parliament did let us go, guess they didn't
want Turdeau's debt. But our legal severance from UK rule was 1982.
This coincides with Canada getting it's first legitimate constitution.
At that point we ceased to be the Dominion of Canada and the Country of
Canada - legal and proper.

Don't get me started on the biased BS consitution we have, It sucks
compared to the US one. And the first three words tell it all, "We the
people.." Frogs were too busy arguing who would be first.

Now I know Canadians like to kick Americans over their knowledge of US
history etc. But quite franky I believe Canadians to be at least as
stupid. Often ore so as for 4-6 months a year we hibernate for 1/2 the day.

Our first Prime minister was a drunk Called Sir John A MacDonald. Hand
picked by the UK becuase he would sell out Canada for lots of scotch.
Lots of pompus jack asses right up to today. Still a bunch of bickering
bozos putting on a ruse.

I know this isn't the CBC or elimentry school version, but I don't
subscribe to worshiping of government.
