, 04:04, April 28, 2009→Canada a colony during WWI?: It's not clear to me.
::::: Edmund, do a search on Google on: Canada colony "World War I". Endless sites refer to Canada as a colony during World War I. The term "dominion" is obscure at best; Canada was a colony of Britain during WWI. Yet Clement suggested that this was a mistake in my teaching. Someone who insists that someone else is wrong should at least have his facts right, don't you think?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:48, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

:::::: FWIW, I did a quick Google, and found that Canada became a self-governing dominion of the British Empire in 1867. [http://www.nationmaster.com/country/ca-canada] The first Canada Day, known then as Dominion Day, was celebrated on July 1st, 1867. [http://www.imagescanada.ca/r1-250-e.html] However, it's not clear whether Canada had a clear-cut specific moment of independence from the British Empire, as discussed [http://www.filibustercartoons.com/dominion.htm here] and [http://www.answers.com/topic/canada-day here], and [http://academickids.com/encyclopedia/d/do/dominion.html here] or [http://www.indopedia.org/Dominion.html#Phasing-out_of_the_term_in_Canada here]. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 00:04, 28 April 2009 (EDT)
