Canada was the first country created by legislation. The British Parliament enacted the British North America Act, which took effect on July 1, 1867.

Canada Day is celebrated each July 1st, as the anniversary of Confederation.

The term "Independence Day" is not used in Canada.

Canada's independence is mythical or at the very least extremely limited. It was not until 1981 that Canada was able to amend its constitution without permission or action on the part of Britain.

By then Canada was little more than a protectorate of the United States. Canada after the second world war had a massive military, 7th largest. Rather respectable for a tiny population, Canada was so respected and powerful they won a Nobel Peace Price by trading on influence left over from WWII.

Yet in only a few generations Canada is completely unable to defend itself or it's land mass and has aligned it's economy and culture so completely with the USA that few people, out side of Canada, can believe that Canada is independent, politically, militarily or culturally.
