Minorities were expected to live by the will of national or provincial minorities. There would be an attempt to assimilate aboriginal people into the dominant Canadian culture

When was the BNA act passed?

The British North American Act was passed in 1867. The British North American Act was passed in 1867.


How did Canada become a dominion?

It was almost a Kingdom but at the last minute before the BNA act was introduced it was changed to Dominion in the hope that it would not upset the Americans.


What year did Canada break away from Britain?

Because of their parliament. Britain let them have their own parliament and the Canadians set it up so they could survive on their own. This was their plan, to break away from Great Britain after World War 2, while the British were weak. Therefore the British wouldn't fight to get it back. Also, the Americans would have aided Canada in a fight against Britain anyways, because many Americans want Canada to be part of the U.S. Save __ Canada gained independence but retained ties with Britain. There was no plan, or need to fight for independence (despite what the above person seems to think). In 1867, the Dominion of Canada was formed, so Canada was independent long before WW2. Canada was became a country (no longer a colony) with the passing if the BNA in 1867. It was an Act of British Parliament that granted independence. To this day Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth and the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada (although the role is strictly ceremonial).


Why is British North America Act important in Canada?

The British North America Act or Constitution Act took three provinces and created Canada. That wasNova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada.


How did Canada become an independent country?

It happened gradually over time. In 1867 Canada did officially become a country but under the British Crown it still had colonial status. Different Prime Ministers did small things here and there to further Canada's independence, for example when Sir Wilfrid Laurier (PM from 1896-1911 I think) created his own Navy for Canada instead of sharing Great Britain's. The two biggest strides though were probably first of all when Borden insisted that Canada have its own seat for the signing of the Treaty of Versailles (right after the world war one), which meant for the first time that Canada's international affairs were separate from Great Britain's, and of course when Trudeau brought the constitution home in 1982 which officially allowed Canada to make amendments to its own constitution instead of having to ask Great Britain to amend it for us, and was also the last step in becoming a completely independent nation.
