Canada did not struggle for freedom.  Canada chooses to keep its ties to its British roots.  We fought no battles against Britain, nor did we want to.  Canada and Britain have fought side-by-side in two world wars.  We are as free as any country, with our own government, and a Governor General who represents our Queen on state occasions.  Our history is very different from that of the USA.

Canada is a socialist country.  Their ideals and cultural structure lacks the independant and naturally occuring thought process that is present in most capitalist countries.  It isn't a fault, for them, it's 'normal' to be a servent to the government in Canada.

Canada was born in 1867; created by "The British North America Act," a law enacted by the British Parliament. The Act federated the British colonies of northern North America into a country consisting of four provinces, with two levels of government, federal and provincial. Under the provisions of the Act, both levels have their respective responsibilities and powers clearly defined.

"why was Canada involved in the commonwealth?"\nCanada was and is still involved in the commonwealth because it was invaded largely by the British Empire (back when there was one). Our continued involvement in this antiquated system mystifies myself and many of my fellow Canadians.\n\n"When was the United Nations formed and why was it created?"\nThe United Nations was formed in 1945 to ensure a way to peacefully resolve disputes so we don't get powder keg situations like what started WWI and WWII. It hasn't exactly worked out but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Generally I think Americans are ambivalent about Canadians.\n\nWe like their beer (Molson), probably eat their beef (Alberta), can appreciate their hockey (Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs), adopt their artists (Alanis Morrissette, William Shatner, Jim Carrey, John Candy, and so on), and film in their country (Vancouver).\n\nWhile I've nothing against Canadians, and indeed respect them, as a FIB I'm more passionate about my beloved Cheese-Head neighbors to the north and happy Hoosiers to the east. All in all, I'd say that Iowans (my western neighbors) are most like Canadians.\n\nRegarding Manifest Destiny: here are some sections from Wikipedia related to its definition and how it affected our relations with Canda, Texas and Mexico. Please visit the link for the complete write-up.\n\n"Manifest Destiny was the belief that the United States had a mission to expand, spreading its form of democracy and freedom. Sometimes advocates said there was divine sanction (but atheists were often just as supportive). Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion was not only good, but that it was obvious ("manifest") and inevitable ("destiny"). Originally a political catch phrase of the 19th century, Manifest Destiny eventually became a standard historical term, often used as a synonym for the territorial expansion of the United States across North America towards the Pacific Ocean.\n\n"(It) has always been a general notion rather than a specific policy. \n\n"The phrase ... was first used primarily by Jackson Democrats in the 1840s to promote the annexation of much of what is now the Western United States (the Oregon Territory, the Texas Annexation, and the Mexican Cession). \n\n"British North America\nAlthough Manifest Destiny was primarily directed at territory inhabited by Mexicans and American Indians, the concept played a role in U.S. relations with British North America (later Canada) to the north. From the time of the American Revolution, the United States had expressed an interest in expelling the British Empire from North America. Failing to do that in both the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Americans came to accept the British presence on their northern border, but fears of possible British expansion elsewhere in North America was a recurrent theme of Manifest Destiny."

Several people at my church in Michigan are Canadians, including the 2 ministers. From my long and thoughtful conversations with Canadians I have found that Canadians are a very diverse group of people, yet are unified by a strong desire to remain separate from the US both politically and personally. As one Canadian put it " being a Canadian is like living in an apartment above a noisy drunk, an incredibly well armed drunk."
