The Balfour Declaration had no significance for Canada; it was an agreement to provide for the establishment of a Jewish National Homeland in what would become Mandatory Palestine.
The Balfour Declaration was the first promise by the British Empire to give the Jewish people a national home in Palestine. It was the first major success of the Zionist Movement and led to increased pressure by Jews to immigrate to the territory and set the foundations of a new Jewish State-to-be. As the Zionists worked to create a Jewish state, the support of one of the world's largest powers, that was soon to take over Palestine, was crucial. This also changed the future trajectory of Israel/Palestine as a region, allowing the seeds of Israel's creation to be sown.

Who determined Canadians laws and policies?
After 1759 Canadian Laws were determined by the British who allowed the French to retain much of their legal system. The administration of these laws and creation of new laws were slowly being transferred to citizens of Canada until 1926 when the Balfour declaration clearly gave Canadians all the ability and responsibility for their own laws and policies. In 1982 all remaining ties to Britain for creating laws and policies were official severed. For the most part Canada determined their own laws though they are now heavily influenced by their ties to the USA who in many cases enforce American law within Canada. This trend is increasing with Canada transferring or "sharing" responsibility of policing and defending Canadian borders.
What was the Balfour Declaration and how did give Canada more independence?
This is the Balfour declaration of 1926 not, perhaps better known internationally, the Balfour declaration of 1917 (from the same individual) which related to Palestine. The 1926 declaration involved recognition, or granting, perhaps depending on point of view, of new degrees of autonomy for Canada. See Wikipedia articles below for details on the declaration and the implications of dominion status. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_1926 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion

Can anyone Explain the significance of the Balfour Declaration for Canada And why by 1939 it was impossible for Canada to withdraw from events taking places in Europe.?
I'm not sure about the declaration. But, I do know that in 1939 as in 1914 Canada, a Commonwealth country, still had strong ties with England and where the leader of the Commonwealth goes (The King/Queen) so do we go. It would appear that we've cut the apron strings, so to speak, as when we went to Afghanistan in 2001 it was of our own choosing to do so. Although, you could say international peer pressure played some part in, then, Prime Minister Chretien's decision to send the troops in...and maybe why they haven't come back yet. The Federal Election is tomorrow...who knows what will happen next?
When did Canada receive the right to control its own domestic affairs?

To what extent had Canada achieved autonomy from Britain between 1900 and 1982?
Canada achieved its autonomy valiantly through the last century. In the begining of the century, Canada was able to gain some identity internationally when the Canadian Expedition Force captured the Vimy Ridge successfully in World War One. After the war ended, the Prime Minister of Canada, Robert Borden fought for the country's independence by gaining a seat for Canada in the Paris Peace Conference and later having a signature from Canada on the Treaty of Versille. When Britain realized that Canada is too much of a burden to carry, and it is becoming more independent, the government sent an investigator, Lord Balfour, to examine the situation. Lord Balfour created the report call the Balfour Report, stating that Canada should become independent. After many debates and considerations, the Statue of Westminister was passed, and the Balfour Report was passed into a law, making Canada a country that is equal in status with Britian, having its own laws, taxes, and government. However, the consistution was not brought back to Canada due to the fact that the provincial and the federal government in Canada could not agree on the new consistution. Later, in 1982, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced the Canada Act, which includes the Consitution Act, bring the Consitution back to Canada, with the signature of Queen Elizabeth.
