Canada was a British possession from the 1700s until 1861, when it was granted independence. Canada remained bound to Great Britain by commerce and by military treaties. Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations. The King or Queen of England is the monarch of Canada (but has no real authority there). The Queen appoints a Governor General (viceroy) as her representative in Canada and a Lieutenant Governor represents the Queen within each of Canada's provinces.
