When "both" of our subs are in the shop for repairs,..we can always be thankful for the protection provided by the huge # of nuclear subs patrolling their,..and our coasts.. That's another reason to be thankful for the protection provided.. . Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 3:20 pm I think we have it great here in Canada. The US has been good to us in providing us with 'big brother' protection in the world, yet we are a separate country in that we don't have the negative aspects of US life.

Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 5:46 pm i don't understand what everyone is talking about "big brother" "protection" and "nuclear submarine"? we are our own country, in which we have our own national anthem, own currency, and our own government. If hsit hits the fan, why would the US protect us? Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 7:27 pm The way I understand it is that Canada was considered a Dominion of the British Commonwealth until the 1980's when the new constitution was passed that severed those ties. Canada did not have full technical sovereignty until then but in practice pretty much had for decades. It is now considered to have full sovereignty and on an equal footing as the UK within the Commonwealth instead of subservient to the UK. This makes Queen Elizabeth the Queen of Canada (as well as the other realms) while before she was (as far as Canada was concerned) the sovereign by the fact that Canada was legally subservient to the UK. I don't think the legal status of Canada had any effect on coinage but I think it did on currency. Report this Post to the Staff
