What did William Lyon Mackenzie rebel against?
William Lyon Mackenzie rebelled against the Family Compact, which was a group of in-bred politicians that held all the political power in Upper Canada (now Ontario). They were distributing too much optimal land to the church, and their interests were for the businessmen instead of the farmers, as they should have been. Mackenzie and his followers wanted a more democratic government, like in the States. Unfortunately, their rebellion was smothered, and many men were either deported to Australia or had to flee to the States.

The question appears unclear and without context. This could be a miss representation of a quote from the Gospel of John, which reads: "and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:14) If this is such a misquote, then the answer is obvious: Jesus, the 2nd person of the Holy Trinity which makes up the the One God, became man, that is took on a human form, also refered to as "became flesh" so that all of humanity might be redeemed from our sins and be reconsiled to God, opening the possiblity of eternal joy in Heaven with God.

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.

Why is Germany's blitzkrieg different from tactics?
Blitzkrieg (German, "lightning war"; listen (help·info)) is "a military doctrine of an all-mechanized force concentrating of tanks, infantry, artillery and air power, concentrating overwhelming force and rapid speed to break through enemy lines, and once the latter is broken, proceeding without regard to its flank." While the term "Blitzkrieg" was not widely used until after the start of the war, German tank general Heinz Guderian is generally accepted to have outlined the principles.
During the interwar period, aircraft and tank technologies matured and were combined with systematic application of the German tactics of infiltration and bypassing of enemy strong points.[1] When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Western journalists adopted the term Blitzkrieg to describe this form of armored warfare.[2]
"Blitzkrieg" operations worked during the 'Blitzkrieg' campaigns, 1939 - 1941. These operations were dependent on surprise penetrations (e.g. the penetration of the Ardennes forest region), general enemy unpreparedness and an inability to react swiftly enough to the attacker's offensive operations.[3]
Only later, during the invasion of the Soviet Union, would the flaws of "Blitzkrieg" come to be realized. In France and Poland the foot-bound infantry had been, at most, a few hours behind the armored spearheads. In the vast open Russian steppe delays of hours would become days.[4] The Allies, both in the West and the Soviet Union, would realise the failings of "Blitzkrieg" warfare.[5]
Academics since the 1970s have questioned the existence of "Blitzkrieg" as a coherent military doctrine or strategy. Many academic historians hold "Blitzkrieg" itself to be a myth. Others continue to use "Blitzkrieg" to describe German strategy and doctrine throughout the Second World War.
