This contest is now open only to Dan Blum, Bruce Bowler, Stephen
Perry, Peter Smyth, Erland Sommarskog, Dan Tilque, and the entrants
posting as "ArenEss", "Calvin", and "Joe".
 
Round 5 will be open for 4 days from the moment of posting, or until
everyone has posted an entry.
 
5. Canada's transition from a British dependency to an independent
country involved many separate stages. Listed here in random
order, these included:
 
* Distinct Canadian citizenship established
* Power to amend Canada's constitution transferred to Canada
* King/Queen of Canada made a distinct title from that of
the UK (although held by the same person)
* Canada no longer obligated to support British military actions
* Appeals of Canadian court decisions to Britain no longer allowed
* Ordinary legislation in Britain no longer applicable to Canada
* Canadian federal government established
* Distinct Canadian money introduced
 
When was the process completed as the last of these changes
became official?

Since the 150 year anniversary is next year (2017), this means 1867
would be the year. So I will guess:
 
1867-06-01
 
ArenEss
P.S. - You forgot to change the "SUBJECT LINE" for this round!
