Is it even completely independant today? I notice stuff I have from
Canada
(maps, etc) have some gibbersih about "Her Majesty the Queen"...


Canada achieved complete independence from the British Parliament in 1931,
after the passage of The Statute of Westminster. The British monarch
remains the chief of state but has very little authority.


Something about cutting the umbilical?
