ArenEss 1867-06-01 -41,958 days Dan Blum 1871-10-01 -40,375 Joe 1887-01-01 -34,804 Erland Sommarskog 1910-01-01 -26,404 Bruce Bowler 1960-01-01 -8,142 Calvin 1977-07-07 -1,745 ** CORRECT ** 1982-04-17 Stephen Perry 1982-04-17 Peter Smyth 1984-06-01 +776 Dan Tilque 1985-07-01 +1,171 The entrant posting as "ArenEss" is eliminated. Here's the actual sequence of events: * 1841 - Distinct Canadian money introduced in the original colony (or "province") of Canada, which later became Ontario and Quebec. * 1867-07-01 - Canadian federal government established. This event, called "Confederation", is the one now commemorated as the founding of Canada. * 1922-09-18 - Canada no longer obligated to support British military actions. More precisely, Canada asserted this right on this date and Britain, as far as I know, simply decided not to challenge it. * 1931-12-11 - Ordinary legislation in Britain no longer applicable to Canada. This date is when the change became official with the Statute of Westminster, but it had been agreed to in principle several years before. * 1933 - Appeals of Canadian court decisions to Britain no longer allowed in criminal cases * 1947-01-01 - Distinct Canadian citizenship established * 1949 - Appeals of Canadian court decisions to Britain no longer allowed in civil cases * Circa 1952 - King/Queen of Canada made a distinct title * 1982-04-17 - Power to amend Canada's constitution transferred to Canada Some of these changes applied simultaneously to other former British colonies such as New Zealand. For Canada, de facto independence came in the 1920s, and the later changes were really just cleanups. The principal reason why the last one took until 1982 was the lack of an agreement between the federal and provincial governments as to what the amending process should be. Eventually Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brokered a deal that all but one province formally agreed to, and that was considered sufficient. -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Don't be evil." msb@vex.net -- corporate policy, Google Inc.
