Teaching Canadian History
Maybe I was wrong about you saying it was ratified again in 1931, who knows but I am not going back through all of your gibber jabber posts.
I'm going to go with Confederation, the Joining of Upper and Lower Canada to form the basis of the government.
But then, I could name any date or reason and you would think I've been polluted with Government propaganda and am clearly wrong.
All right, Independence came in small parts...I hate to use Wiki but its late.
While the BNA Act gave Canada more autonomy than it had before, it was far from full independence from the United Kingdom. Foreign policy remained in British hands, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council remained Canada's highest court of appeal, and the constitution could be amended only in Britain. Gradually, Canada gained more autonomy, and in 1931, obtained almost full autonomy within the British Commonwealth with the Statute of Westminster. Because the provinces of Canada were unable to agree on a constitutional amending formula, this power remained with the British Parliament. In 1982, the constitution was patriated when Queen Elizabeth II gave her royal assent to the Canada Act 1982. The Constitution of Canada is made up of a number of codified acts and uncodified traditions; one of the principal documents is the Constitution Act, 1982, which renamed the BNA Act 1867 to Constitution Act, 1867.
So 1982 Canada was truly indpendent of British influence in 1982. Although it had been given in small pieces over the years before hand.

Do you understand what the term independent means when referring to a country? What are you trying to argue is the same as saying a person is partially dead and buried.
If Canada got it's independence in 1867 then the Statute of Westminster would not of been required.
My reference is Mr Walter F. Kuhl and Mr.R.Rogers Smith. The 4 original colonies could not agree to form a country because they were not sovereign , and independent. . In order to have a democracy you first have to have sovereign and independent people.

If you think you got your democracy ; you can pay your income taxes and quit bitching , about others who don't.
Since you are such experts on taxes post how much taxes a person pays on earnings of $100,000 , and spending whats left after income taxes ?
Never saw this till now.........$25,147.83
Dang thats about how much in taxes you would pay here in the US as a single person. Depending on what state you live in will increese the tax's you pay as you spend the money.
Here in Texas its easy every purchase outside of Gas is 8.5% of the purchase price. Other states have state taxes and and city taxes but most of them have less sales tax then we do.
before you jump up and down i was talking about a person ; i never mentioned any dependants or other deductions,
Here we have provincial and federal income taxes and with basic exemption for one person it will be much more ; Then whats left we pay gst and pst taxes on most other purchases , even legal services.
The gas tax is then taxed again with pst and gst. NOW all you tax payers can correct me as i don't file tax returns, on the advice of an ex CCRA !00,000 earnings from wages.
So just like in some states here in the US who pay a city tax, state tax, sales tax on any purchase they make. Gas will have fedreal tax. Thats after the approx 25k is taken out and yes thats about what it would be for a single person. Then at the end of the year you would have to file your taxes and probely pay some more.
Sounds very simular to what your pst and gst taxes are after the inital taxes taken out. Then we both have end of year taxes.
[font=Comic Sans MS] Hey I feel I need to make a point here. Aboriginal people fall under Federal jurisdiction. Right? And I've said it before and I will say it again, "First Nations People were never consulted on the laws and policies." They were written by a bunch of UK drunks called the ""Founding Fathers." So why do "lil boy right wingers," give aboriginal people hell over something they never had anything to do with in the first place? It's dozy and ignorant. You know how everybody whines and snivels about aboriginal people not paying taxes? The tax-free thing is only on reserves! Right? So I'II give all you snivelers a hint: Aboriginal people fall under Federal jurisdiction--now think about all the other Federal powers like petroleum and energy etc. So now the big question and maybe all you whiners will have a "lightbulb moment!" (Drum roll please)...if the government were to tax a power within their jurisidiction like gas, it'll be just like taxing themselves.
So to the average canadian, it looks like tax free status--Duhhhh
The Indians did'nt make these rules and laws...so snap out of it!! Grow up!! No wonder why Stronach left politics...will the real men "ever" step forward on this and really see what is going on? [/font]

What did they found ? Just like calling Castro the founder of Cuba. A group of people who knew fraud was committed and wanted to gain power. The founding fathers would of been the people who drafted the 52 Quebec resolutions if what they agreed to was what the B.N.A.Act did what it pretends to do. All the B.N.A.Act was is a private members bill which united 4 colonies into one colony called a dominion. It never created a sovereign , independent country ., as all government bills still required the governor generals approval, which had the right to reject or approve.
When was the last time the governor general got letters of patten to give them any power? Post a copy.

Man, you are such a tool. Text books (at least University texts) are not put together by the government. You need to, I dunno...fuck off. Yea that sounds about right. I'll take a yellow flag if it comes, but you are whacked out of your mind.
And really I don't need to back up myself, everyone else has posted proof that you refuse to accept. You're just spouting gibberish that a three year old would, if backed into a corner regarding who broke a window. I suggest you clean up your grammar then come back to us with real proof, not garbage you pulled together yourself. Show me proof that there are government paid posters, show me proof that text books aren't legit, then we'll see. Because from the texts I've read through it shows the good and bad of Canada. I think you are just to stupid to see past the end of your hate filled nose.
Give us the authors name and what credentials . Was the information only reporting government information ; without providing any supporting documents and court cases.? Your say you don't need to backup yourself : spoken like a government paid poster.
If the government was paying me I would not be living where I am, trust me.

Swearing in under the Queen is just for show, she is a figurehead nothing more. The same goes for her position in Britain. I looked back through your posts, what I meant was you said in 1867 we had Confederation and then things were ratified again in 1931, I didn't mean it to look like we had indpendance twice, we had it once.
Then why not use a Canadian Queen from Queen street in Toronto?better head

the canadian constitution a History lesson
www://blupet.com/Litrature/Essays/BlueP ... ionHistory
par 10.
By the Statute of Westminster,in,1931,theBritish parliament recognized the independence of self-governing countries of the Commonwealth. But Canada was not ready for such a step.....
It was as one British MP,the Right Honoourable J.Enoch Powell, put it, a FRAUD perpetrated on the Canadian people.
or is that blunose
thelaw if you really believe that Canada is still part of Great Britain then why don't you take your infamous court cause to an English court instead of a Canadian one
