If you are referring Wm. McKenzie King and Lord Byng, you will note that I do not use his portrait as my avatar, he was a bit of a wing nut. That was really a tempest in a tea pot and Britain had no realistic control.

King used to buy ruins and have them erected on his estate in the Gatineaus, we were never certain that he was all there. I believe he used to 'communiicate' with his mother's ghost. His final nose thumb at Westminster was to declare war on the Axis on Sept 10 1939, one day after the rest of the Commonwealth.

It is funny haoww everyone believed frex that Canada had no 'constitution' because the BNA act still resided in Westminster. It was simply a formality and required provincial agreement to patriate it, but as far as day to day matters were concerned it did not really matter worth a hoot.
