42: Patriation

 


Today (April 17, 1982) Canada celebrates 42 years of being an independent country.

Before Patriation in 1982 every Canadian Law had to be sent to the British Parliament in London and agreed on then sent to the British King or Queen who signed off on it where it was then sent back to the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Queen or King.

Since 1982 only the Canadian Parliament and the Canadian Queen or King have to approve Canadian Laws.
