Canada is part of the commonwealth becaues of trade, and other economic reasons, not for it's social or athletic reasons.

example- In Canada, you say hockey in reference of Ice Hockey. In the rest of the commonwealth, you say hockey in reference of Field Hockey.

In Canada you play Baseball, in the rest of the commonwealth you play cricket.

If it was not for the United States influences, Canada would be a true menber of commonwealth. They are members for political and economic reasons.

Canada wanted British Columbia to join in Confederation, because they wanted a country that went from sea to seas and they didn't want British Columbia to join the United States.

Why did Canada choose to remain a member of the Commonwealth of Nations?

Canada isn't just a member of the Commonwealth of Nations - it's a Commonwealth Dominion, to which the British monarch holds the title of Head of State (thus, the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada). Canada has long standing ties to the Crown. Canada's independence was done under the provisions of the Statute of Westminster Act 1931, and further reading on that will help explain how the act both gave the Dominion independence, but also ensured they would remain tied to the Crown.


Reasons that Canada did not get involved in the war right away?

in WWI, Canada's military was still under British rule, thus when the British went to war, Canada went to war. There was no delay. In WWII Canada was no longer tied to British military action. Canada wished to make a statement that Canada was choosing to go to war, not being pulled in by the British. It was agreed that Canada would wait one week after the British declared war. This would send a clear statement to the world that it was Canada, not Britain, that was declaring war.
