Technically it was the British that did it but hey whoever can get the job done.
I mean Canada is a British colony, no? Aren't they still under UK rule by some technicality?
Nope! We're part of a commonwealth (we have the same monarch as the UK, Australia, etc) but no other connection to the UK other than history.
Canada was not independent in 1814, though, so it would have been as a British colony.
The more you know 🌟
Canada patriated its constitution in the 1980s, the only 'thing still under UK rule' is that our monarch is automatically the monarch of the UK, but technically the monarchy of Canada is a separate title he holds.
