Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north and to every transplant
who celebrates!
From your puzzle friends
Solving: every, to, the, happy, day, Canada
Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada,), formerly known as Dominion Day (French: Fête du Dominion), is the national day of Canada. 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.
