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.

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.

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.

Try 1982.

Before that Canada was an official colony of the British empire. Known
as the Dominion of Canada...

Too bad we didn't run off the French and joined the US. Or in at least
oust Sir John A MacDonald drunk politician for hire, and gone
independent. But couldn't find enough with spine I guess. Too many
scots and french.
