What contribution did the Canadian Navy make to the Allied war effort in World War 2?
The Canadian navy made many contributions to the battle of the Atlantic. Canada's navy had an enormous effect on the success of Operation Overlord (D-Day). They bombarded Hitler's Atlantic wall for hours before the landings, helping pave the way for the liberation of Europe.
Early on, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) was a small-scale force, made up of Corvettes, Patrol boats and Destroyers. Their main job was escorting ship convoys across the Atlantic Ocean to Britain. The navy and the convoys would be constantly pestered by the German U-Boats, something which would come to be known as The Battle of the Atlantic. It was both the longest, and arguably the most important battle of World War II. Had the Germans succeeded in destroying the allied shipping, the British would have been starved into submission from lack of supplies.
At the beginning of the war the RCN had only six ships and about 3,000 sailors, but by the end of the war it was the third largest navy in the world, with over 400 ships and 125,000 men. The RCN sank the largest number of U boats in the Atlantic and was the best antisubmarine group in the world.
However, the Royal Canadian Navy's operations aren't limited only to the battle of the Atlantic. Canadian ships were also present in the pacific theater of war, contributing greatly to the joint US-Canadian effort to secure the Aleutian Islands and by extension the Western seaboard of the North American continent. The RCN was involved in the Mediterranean as well, being a major participant in the invasions of Sicily and Italy.

To what extent had Canada achieved autonomy from Britain between 1900 and 1982?
Canada achieved its autonomy valiantly through the last century. In the begining of the century, Canada was able to gain some identity internationally when the Canadian Expedition Force captured the Vimy Ridge successfully in World War One. After the war ended, the Prime Minister of Canada, Robert Borden fought for the country's independence by gaining a seat for Canada in the Paris Peace Conference and later having a signature from Canada on the Treaty of Versille. When Britain realized that Canada is too much of a burden to carry, and it is becoming more independent, the government sent an investigator, Lord Balfour, to examine the situation. Lord Balfour created the report call the Balfour Report, stating that Canada should become independent. After many debates and considerations, the Statue of Westminister was passed, and the Balfour Report was passed into a law, making Canada a country that is equal in status with Britian, having its own laws, taxes, and government. However, the consistution was not brought back to Canada due to the fact that the provincial and the federal government in Canada could not agree on the new consistution. Later, in 1982, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced the Canada Act, which includes the Consitution Act, bring the Consitution back to Canada, with the signature of Queen Elizabeth.
