1. not Canadian, but some answers
Slavery became illegal in the British empire in the 1830s (I'm thinking 1835). This, of course, included Canada.

Canada entered WWII before the US did-I think at the time Great Britain did, in fact. I've known folks who served in the Canadian Navy during WWII. Some Americans, impatient with our neutrality, went to Canada to enlist in their army so they could fight.

I thought Dominion Day (or Canada Day-I know they changed the name) was July 2-help, Candians, on this one!

Please kindly correct any errors I made, as I respect your great nation.
