Pact: of course with your approval or veto, Any outside force that wants to trade with us, we will so long as the tarrifs are FAIR.
Any nation that exhibits they think they know about the United States and begin to be critical, fine, but we reserve the right to limit there trade, protection, and technology.
What do you think Mr. President?

Yes, we are part of the Commonwealth and yes were do still technically have the Queen as a head of State, but that is a formality more than anything.

We have our own consitution (although Quebecers for some reason don't like it). We became independant over 125 years ago (1867 IIRC).

As for you Synthetic, I can see you are a natural borne leader. Welcome aboard. Now, what did the 8th decide on the Seperatist issue? Are you guys keeping them on board or giving them there own little island in the middle of Canada? It wouldn't hurt for our little 10th Faction to have some French Seperatist around; keeps us on our toes!

We need a Canadian "Spokesperson" and a Loyal British "spokesperson" to help us ratify.

Taxes to Britain ? No.

Follow in war ? No, Canada did not fight argentina in the falkland war 1982, for example.

"Also if canada is attacked it will be under the protection of the British army so that way britan must intervine."

That's true, but that's an obligation under NATO.

"I dont see that canada is an independent country since the queen is like the president and she could change canadas counstitution any time she wants."

No, the queen is not like the president. She has almost no powers. And even the (US) president can't change the constitution. The queen can't either. And (since 1982, I think) the british parliament has no more say in canada's constitutional matters.

Anyway, it is clear that the security council and the world is a lot better off with a canadian member!!!

I personally think that your grammar is just a reflection of your trolling nature. Either that or you're just stupid. In either case you have just proven yourself to be an individual of no consequence.

To all other members

I like the idea of Australia joining. We already have a coalition called the ABCA (America, Britain, canada, Australia) in which we are creating doctrine that is used by the four primary english speaking nations of the world.

That said, I'm kind of curious about where you live Aga1. For some reason, you profile doesn't have so much as an email address.

As for the Canadian Constitution... I've done a bit of reading and it appears that the "confusion" arises from the fact that there is no overriding document that cancels previous documents (dating back to the treaty of Paris).

Therefore, Aga1 is probably right in a literal reading of all the documents that make up our constitution. However, as a citizen of Canada, I can confirm that the Governor General is basically a figurehead. The Queen is ignored in day to day life and no Canadian considers themselves to be a British subject or to be living in a colony.

That's good, because as I understand it, we haven't *been* British subjects for some time. Could I march down to the British High Commission tomorrow and demand a British passport? I somehow doubt it.

Aga1 says:

"The Constitution of Canada states on the first line that the queen rules canada that makes you part of the british empire which means canada is still owned by brittan."

No, it makes the Queen the titular ruler of the country. I don't see how the latter part of this sentence necessarily follows from the first part. Especially the crap about ownership.

While we're at it, is there even a "British Empire" anymore? It's the "British Commonwealth" today, where Britain is first among equals. The "IMP." (Imperator) disappeared from Canadian coins a LONG time ago.

1. Nigeria (most populous nation in Africa).
2. About half of the rest of Africa.
3. Large parts of the Caribbean.
4. New Zealand.
5. Fiji.
6. Many other Pacific island nations.
7. Malaysia.
8. Singapore.
9. Brunei (its sultan is Bill Gates's main
rival for world's richest man).
10. Malta.
11. Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
12. Papua New Guinea.
13. Burma (is it still? or is it suspended?).
14. Guyana.
15. Belize.
16. Bangla Desh.

That's several hundred million people.
Add in India, Pakistan, and the others
already mentioned, and Commonwealth
nations comprise about two billion
people, a third of the world.

Someone mentioned Montgomery as a General.
He was from Tasmania (the Australian
island State), like Errol Flynn.

To clarify the stuation regarding migration
in the Commonwealth, we used all (?) to be
British subjects, but then an Englishman
Ted Heath decided that Britain would ditch
its economic ties to the Commonwealth and
join continental Europe instead. So we
lost our British citizenship.

Then to exacerbate matters, Margaret
Thatcher unilaterally created first,
second and third class citizenship,
and relegated many of the remaining
British subjects to third class citizens.
For example, about a million people in Hong Kong were so relegated. She was and is a treasonable [very bad word].

Now citizens of Commonwealth countries
have to line up in the `other foreigners'
queue at British airports; whereas citizens
of Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy, and
every other European Union country are
waved in as if they were native Britons.

The Commonwealth's sweat and toil, life
and limb, paid for the wealthy elites of Britain to rise from obscurity. Now that
it suits them, they've spurned us in favor
of nations such as France who resent
Britain's very existence.

In practical terms, Britain's Parliament
is its Constitution. What the Parl't votes
for is law, regardless of anything else.
If Westminster decided to abolish the
Monarchy, the Queen couldn't do a thing
about it. She has no power at all in
Britain.

Also, before Americans get too proud about their independence, they should remember that
most of their common law is inherited from
18th century British courts, and that America
and the Commonwealth continue to share each
others' legal recedents. So as the Common Law of Britain, Canada and Australia changes, it continues to apply in America too! And vice versa.

So who's independent? Legally noone is fully independent.

And on that site, they are using quotes - Seneca and Galilei. This seems to be a canadian obsession, I like it.
