To patriation of a document is essentially 'returning it home'. The patriation of the Canadian constitution was a very significant step in Canada's national history because it was a large legal extirpation of Britain's power over Canada's constitution. Prior to patriation, Canadian officials were not able to amend the fundamental laws by which we are all governed, and patriation included an amending formula. The amending mechanism ensured that in the future Canadian government would have the authority to change and adapt its constitution should the need arise.
By having the power to determine the laws by which all Canadians must abide by, it helped further distance Canadians from the British, and further develop a sense of national identity.

Which Caribbean county has the largest white population?
The Cayman Islands presently has the largest European-descended (or expatriate) "white" population, although it can be very difficult to define race in a place like the Caribbean, where people from all over the world came and mixed hundreds of years ago. However, the CIA World Factbook lists The Cayman Islands as having a "white" population of 20%, an ex-patriate population (which is effectively white) of 20%, and a "mixed" population of 40%. ("Blacks" compose 20% of the population.) Therefore it is a rare Caribbean island in that it truly does have a substantial white population.
