Canada gained it's independence from Britain in 1931, beginning with the initiation of the British North America Act of 1867; this act forms a part of Canada's constitution and created the self-governing dominion now known as Canada. The Statute of Westminster 1931 established a status of legislative equality between the self-governing dominions of the British Empire (in this case, Canada, but it involved other countries) and the United Kingdom; this act marks the independence of the countries involved. The Canada Act of 1982 severed all remaining legislative and constitutional ties with Britain.
As an independent country, Canada will celebrate its 75th year of independence this December 11th.

The basic history is: British lovers during the revolution moved to Canada and there were some French fur trappers too. (so around 1776 or so) It was like America but everyone loved Britain and there was no revolution. Canada gained independence from the United Kingdom in an incremental process that began in 1867 and ended in 1982

Who cares! The greatest thing that ever happened in Canada is that a moose took a sh-t.
