Because of their parliament. Britain let them have their own parliament and the Canadians set it up so they could survive on their own. This was their plan, to break away from Great Britain after World War 2, while the British were weak. Therefore the British wouldn't fight to get it back. Also, the Americans would have aided Canada in a fight against Britain anyways, because many Americans want Canada to be part of the U.S. Save

Canada gained independence but retained ties with Britain. There was no plan, or need to fight for independence (despite what the above person seems to think). In 1867, the Dominion of Canada was formed, so Canada was independent long before WW2.
Canada was became a country (no longer a colony) with the passing if the BNA in 1867. It was an Act of British Parliament that granted independence. To this day Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth and the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada (although the role is strictly ceremonial).
well, in the beginning, canada was called british north america because britain owned it and the british had started to colonize it before anyone had. they were in fact the first people to immigrate to canada.
Rupert's Land and the "North-western Territory" were transferred from Britain to Canada on July 15, 1870. After the transfer, both were merged under the name, "The North-West Territories."
Canadian Confederation happened on July 1st, 1867, however, this was not a declaration of independence as Canada was part of the British Empire. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 set the country as an independent realm with allegiance to the Crown as the 'Dominion of Canada'. The current Head of the House of Windsor remains the monarch of Canada.

Britain throws away millions of tons of garbage each year. Much of it ends up in landfill while some is burned or recycled.
