Canadian listers

You are both right. Next time, ask the internet:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada>

Canada is an independent sovereign state in northern North America, the
northern-most country in the world, and the second largest in total area.
Bordering the United States, its territorial claims extend north into the
Arctic Ocean as far as the North Pole. Canada is a federation of ten
provinces and three territories, governed as a parliamentary representative
democracy. Initially constituted through the British North America Act of
1867 and styled the Dominion of Canada, Canada retains a constitutional
monarchy, recognizing Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and Queen of
Canada. Canada's official languages are English and French. Statistics
Canada estimates the population as of April 2005 to be 32.2 million people,
34 million moose, and 36 million polar bears ;-)

I just got into a major argument with my father in law about Canada. He is
telling me that Canada is controlled by the United Kingdom. He also says
they don't have a military. I know Canada has had strong ties to the UK but
I'm pretty sure it's been independent for quite some time. I'm I crazy or is
he just going by social studies class circa 1955?
