Why did Canada want to remain tied to the British Common wealth?

Question

I have to have this answer for school.....and I can't find the answer! Help!

Answer 1

There were certain benefits and very little cost. To dat, I can't think of a period or event where Canada would regret its ties with Britain.

In return, Canada gets a clear set of allies, natural trade partners, some protection against US expansion threats, a stabalizing factor in the political make up and, as a member of the Commonwealth, maintains an alliance that helps keep balance in the world as a superpower (together).

Answer 2

The average canadian didn't want any ties; the big money people did. Guess who won?
