*''Endless sites refer to Canada as a colony during World War I.'' You can't trust everything you find in the internet - even if it seems to be a popular choice.

Anyway, it's not an important point as Canada doesn't take a prominent place in your lectures - it is just mentioned a few times:
*[[World_History_Lecture_Five|Lecture 5]]: ''Russia today is by far the largest country in the world in land mass, having almost twice the area of the second-largest country (Canada). ''
*[[World_History_Lecture_Eight|Lecture 8]]: ''From France, Jacques Cartier discovered Canada and the Mississippi Basin, including Louisiana in 1534 and 1541.''
*[[World_History_Lecture_Eight|Lecture 8]]: ''Britain gained both Canada and India as a result of the Seven Years War, but lost the American colonies two decades later in the Revolutionary War. ''
*[[World_History_Lecture_Ten|Lecture 10]]: ''Canada achieved effective independence (as a Dominion within the British Empire) in 1867, but still remained within the British empire (Newfoundland remained a British territory and did not join Canada until 1949).'' '''nota bene''': here, you state that it became a effectively independet dominion. So, the term ''dominion'' shouldn't be ''obscure at best'' to your students.
*[[World_History_Lecture_Eleven|Lecture 11]]: ''For example, Britain drew upon its colonies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand to supply a failed Gallipoli campaign, which sought to forge a supply line to Russia. '' '''nota bene''': colony again
*[[World_History_Lecture_Twelve|Lecture 12]]: ''By the middle of 1940 a real world war had begun again. On one side were the Axis Powers of Japan, Germany and Italy. On the other side where the Allied Powers of Great Britain and its colonies (commonwealth), the nations of Australia, Canada and New Zealand, France and its colonies, and potentially the United States and the Soviet Union. '' '''nota bene''': here, the reader gets the impression that Australia, Canada and New Zealand weren't part of the commonwealth...
You stated that I ''I seem to be excessively critical''. May I observe that you seem to be quite opinionated? How many edits did it take to drive home my point that ''Russia didn't win the Great War''? And after a lengthy - rather inquisitive - discussion, you seem to concede the point. But you don't do so on the page where the discussion was held, but elsewhere [http://conservapedia.com/World_History_Homework_Eleven_Answers_-_Student_One].
