The Declaration of Independence is in the United States.
So where is the founding constitution of Canada?
In London ... England.
SIGN THE PETITION TO BRING IT HOME
The undersigned request of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the British Government that the original BNA Act be brought back to Canada.
CANADIANS NEED CANADA'S CONSTITUTION
BringBackTheAct.ca aims to engage Canadians in bringing home our founding
constitution. We are gathering support and opening up a dialogue on what our
country and its history means to all of us.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Our original constitution should be on display in the country it created -
for all Canadians to see and appreciate. To understand who we are, we have
to understand where we came from.
WHO ARE WE?
We are Canadians from all walks of life who discovered our original
constitution is locked in a vault in England. We thought it a matter of
grassroots democracy to tell other Canadians about this - so we can work
together to bring the BNA Act home.
Who's behind this: BringBackTheAct.ca is being
organized by a working group, which includes Lori Abittan, John English,
Patrick Gossage, Jack Granatstein, Charlotte Gray, Paul LaBarge, Robert
Prichard, and interim chair Ian Wilson. [More]
