William Lyon Mackenzie King is the longest serving Prime Minister in Canadian history, and indeed, in the history of the British Commonwealth. He served a crucial role in developing Canada's autonomy from Britain, and by extension, the autonomy of the other dominions as well. He was also the Prime Minister of Canada throughout WWII. King is particularly known for his involvement in the King-Byng affair, and for communing with the spirits of the deceased (including those of his mother and his dogs). His face is featured on the Canadian $50 bill.
What do you mean? Canada is already a sovereign nation. Canada is already an independent nation. Perhaps you're asking why does Quebec want their independence? The answer to that is rather thorny, to say the least. The generally accepted rational is that the province of Quebec are predominantly French-speaking Canadians (or French-Canadians) who can't/don't identify themselves as being Canadian as much as they are French.
Canada's independence was solidified with the signing of the Constitution Act in 1982, which transferred the power to amend its constitution from the UK to Canada. This act affirmed Canada's autonomy internationally as a self-governing nation.
Canada's tie with Britain began to loosen because Canada was beginning to achieve autonomy. Autonomy is whats known as complete control over your own affairs. Canada wanted full independence from Britain. Events that led to the start of Canada's Autonomy were: Chanak Affair, Halibut Treaty, the King-Byng Crisis, the Balfour Report, New Foriegn Emabassies, and The Statue of Westminister.
he kept Canada out of the war on Iraq
At the end of World War 1, in 1919, Canada was viewed as a subordinate to Britain. Canada's Prime Minister, Robert Borden, fought for their independence. He believed that Canada's major role in the war, as well as their 60,000 casualties should allow them separate Dominion and the right to sign the Treaty of Versailles as an independent Country.
Depending on how one defines "autonomy" the answer will vary. With respect to political autonomy, in 1867, Canada was styled a separate "dominion" with authority to establish its own representative government. In 1931, Canada was given power to pass and amend its own laws without final approval of the British Parliament, except for those laws which were "Constitutional" in character. In 1982, Canada was given power to amend its own Constitution, thus divesting Britain of any remaining legislative authority over Canada.
Autonomy is a noun.
