Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular press, the occasion marks the joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date, but the British Parliament kept limited rights of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982 when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution

So...if youse Canucks are "independent" from the UK, why do you still kow-tow to the British royalty? Why are youse still part of the British Commonwealth instead of standing on your own feet?

Still...I tip my hat to my Canuckistanian neighbors who are still British subjects...even though they deny it.
(youse are still "affiliated" with Neckbeard) nyah, nyah, nyah!

We kowtow to Canadian royalty, not British. And we stopped using the Red Ensign in 1965 after just 8 years of using it.

Fucking republican trolls...

1868-1921

1921-1957

1957-1965

Oddly enough, google has nothing for "Canadian royalty." (except Canadian royalty trust stocks)

I have NEVER voted for a Republican.

My bad. I should have specified the Canadian Red Ensign. And it's republican with a small r.

in a speech to the Nunavut legislature at its opening, Queen Elizabeth II stated: "I am proud to be the first member of the Canadian Royal Family to be greeted in Canada's newest territory."
