Canada
Canada, a British dominion from 1867, evolved into a fully sovereign nation through the Statute of Westminster (1931) and the patriation of its constitution (1982). A founding NATO member and G7 economy, Canada's identity has been defined by peacekeeping, multiculturalism policy (1971), and the welfare state. The unresolved legacy of residential schools and treaties with First Nations remains central to national discourse.
