At this point Canada was no longer a colonony of Great Britain, therefore, Canada had no obligation to fight along side of Great Britain.
Canada chose to enter WWII independently from Great Britain partly as a display of its sovereignty, but there were other factors that influenced this decision. Canada had automatically entered into WWI when Great Britain declared war, as Canada was then a dominion of the British Empire. However, since the signing of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Canada had gained legislative independence from Great Britain. As a result, when Great Britain declared war on September 1, 1939, Canada was not automatically a part of that declaration. The Canadian parliament debated the issue, and a formal state of war was declared by Canada on September 10, 1939.
