Well Happy Canada Day all!
142 years of being a Dominion, what does it mean? In effect it is really much longer, our institutions can trace their roots even back to the Magna Carta.
We may not like to think about our ties to the home country but we have much more in common than the Queen. Our freedom, laws and sense of fair play are all as a result of them passing their values on to us.
We should be grateful that they did not abandon us and finished their duty by not releasing us into the wild world prematurely and that they encouraged and supported us through our early years until we could walk on our own.
So while we celebrate Canada being its own, lets not forget those who helped shape us!
