A federal       > statutory holiday, it celebrates the anniversary of Canadian       > Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867, with the passing of       > the British North America Act, 1867, when the three separate colonies       > of the United Canadas, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick were united       > into a single dominion within the British Empire called Canada.              > the holiday was renamed in 1982, the same year that the Canadian       > constitution was patriated by the Canada Act, 1982, which severed       > the vestiges of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United       > Kingdom.              ... then the wp article goes into further detail as Canada gained       increasing sovereignty over its affairs, albeit still a 'dominion';       then, in the wp 'British Empire' article, the history is further dev/d       into the last section called 'Legacy' which names the Commonwealth of       Nations, which has its own article.              > The Commonwealth of Nations, often simply referred to as the       > Commonwealth,[4] is an international association of 56 member states,       > the vast majority of which are former territories of the British       > Empire from which it developed.                            --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
