This was Canada's first "Canadian made" constitutional amendment, granting Canada full political independence from Britain, and incorporating a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms outlining the individual rights of every citizen of Canada.
Much of how Canada's government works cannot be accurately learned from a simple reading of the constitution, as like Britain, the Canadian government is heavily dependent on unwritten constitutional conventions.
At the same time, Canada relies on constitutional convention to a much smaller than does the United Kingdom, and there are parts of the Constitution of Canada, namely the portions that deal with civil rights and provincial-federal relations in which a literal reading of the constitutional documents closely resembles actual practice.

 Canada in the Making - Constitutional History
With the passing of the British North America Act in 1867, Canada became a Dominion in the British Commonwealth and John A. Macdonald became Canada's first prime minister.
The French-speaking population of Canada was also sharply divided, a fact that was reflected in the first election after Confederation in 1867.
One of the key events in the development of Canada's national identity and independence was the tragedy of World War I. The dependence of the British on the Dominions (including Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) for men and raw materials gave greater leverage to those governments.

After three years of negotiations, the Dominion of Canada and the Saulteaux tribe of Ojibway Indians entered into treaty at the North-West Angle of the Lake of the Woods.
With the Saulteaux surrendering title to an area of 14,245,000 hectares, Canada acquired land for agriculture, settlement and mineral discovery.
The southern part, negotiated in 1875, was one of the southern Prairie treaties, and was in large part a result of the insistence of the Native people of that region that their aboriginal rights be recognized by the Canadian government, which had recently acquired title to their lands.

 The Federal Court of Canada: A History, 1875-1992. by Patricia Hughes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Since the Federal Court is the successor to the Exchequer Court, established in 1875, at the same time as the Supreme Court of Canada, this history is inevitably a history of the Federal Court and its precursor.
Bushnell's history ends shortly after the appointment of the current chief justice, Julius Isaac, and therefore he was not able to discuss the difficulties that ensued when the chief justice met with an assistant deputy attorney general about the slow pace of citizenship revocation proceedings involving alleged war criminals.
While the Supreme Court of Canada would not uphold the stay of proceedings issued in the Federal Court - Trial Division, it nevertheless concluded that the concept of judicial independence had been seriously damaged by these events.

Yet even before entering the Dominion of Canada, the West had an entrenched antipathy to eastern Canada, which it did not believe protected or promoted the interests of westerners.
