	MACHRAY REVIEW #5: A Lament for British North America
		While the interminable process of constitutional reform distorted Canada's politics and public discourse, the most significant legal changes spawned by it were the result of the enactment of the Canada Act 1982.
		Canada has ceased to be a nation, not because its political existence has ended, but because its distinctive intention has ceased to be important.
		Its suggested "Canada Clause" would have advocated "democratic participation by all Canadians, whatever their race, gender, religion, culture, or physical or mental disability; and concern for the well-being of all Canadians" as well as "respect for the dignity of individuals, groups and communities".
