I was browsing Wikipedia and came across this. Link wrote: Canada's patriation of its constitution (the ability to amend it without the need to ask the British Parliament to enact the changes), which had been proposed and debated since the 1960, was achieved with the Constitution Act, 1982. The was the final chapter in this lengthy process towards full separation. I find it fascinating how for the longest time Canada was happy being under British rule. I can't fault them though, since the British did a great job at bringing civilization to much of the world and improving conditions. |

I was thinking last night that America is so dumbed down now that it might better to forfeit our sovereignty back to the UK. |

Queen Elizabeth II (in this case, in the capacity of "Queen of Canada," not "Queen of England") is still the CinC of our armed forces. While British Parliament has long had no say in our affairs, technically, the Queen still holds as much power here as she does in England itself. For the most part, Canada likes its English roots, although we can be a bit bipolar about the whole thing. |
