Canada is no longer a colony of Britain; it is a fully self governing, independent nation. However, it is also a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and for ceremonial purposes, Queen Elizabeth II is still the head of state of Canada. Canada is, however, governed by its own elected Parliament and not by the Queen.

Canada is an independent sovereign state, but as the UK and Canada (and New Zealand, Australia etc..) share a head of state, the governments have to agree on certain issues.

No. Canada is self-governing. Canada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations and Canada's monarch is the Queen of England.

It was the first treaty negotiated by Canada, independent of Britain. Before this time Canada had always looked to Britain to ratify any international agreements they made. When informed of the treaty, Britain wished to sign the treaty along with Canada, as it had in the past, but Canadian Prime MinisterWilliam Lyon Mackenzie Kingresisted. He insisted that the treaty was only a concern between Canada and the United States. Britain eventually acquiesced when Mackenzie King threatened to send independent representation toWashington, D.C., which would in effect completely bypass Britain's authority.
