Then, why does your money still have pics of Queen Elizabeth II ? (unless I am mistaken)
Yeah, and last time I was in Canada there was a huge picture of the Queen Mother on the wall of the customs office.


QEII is still the Queen of Canada, just like she's the Queen of Australia and all the other Commonwealth countries. She holds no real power, but is still our figurehead of state. We like tradition, that's all.

As for the Queen Mum in the Customs Office, I have no answers.

I believe the Canada Act 1982 included the Constitution Act, didn't it?

It's known as the Constitution Act, 1982. I still have my law school copy. I'm tempted to quote Hook, but I'll resist.


We're both right, actually. The Constitution Act, 1982 is what became of the BNAA, but the Canada Act, 1982 (1982 c. 11; March 29th, 1982) was what was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, enacting the Constitution Act as law in Canada.
