The transformation and union of the colonies of British North America into the Dominion of Canada is referred to as the Confederation of Canada. The establishment was created in 1867 by the British North American Act. Before the creation of the confederation only the United States was an independent nation in the Americas.

It’s time to change! Canada is a great developed country without a long history, but its culture is rich and various, beautiful scenery, people live with happiness and content, perfect social welfare and so on.
