said by MajorPewPew:My old history teacher always taught us that the modern day Sovereign Nation of Canada didn't exist until post WWI.
I am sure that he was a fine fellow but that's his opinion.

So when did Canada begin in your view:
a) Confederation 1867.
b) Battle of Vimy Ridge 1917.
c) Statute of Westminster 1931.
d) Declaration of war (WW II) 1939, which Canada specifically did separately from the UK to make a point.
e) First Canadian-born Governor General of Canada 1952.
f) Canadian flag 1965.
g) Control of its own Constitution 1982.
My country was born by a Revolution, yours was born by an Evolution.
