The First Nations of Canada are generally very loyal to the Crown as their treaties were signed directly with the Crown and not with the Canadian Government. I also believe that members of the Royal Family are honorary chiefs. Native land is Crown land, after all. When Nunvaut was created, the Queen was asked to open the new legislature, which she did. I am sure that new Northern Provinces of Yukon, North-west Territories (which would have to be renamed) and Nunavut would be quite loyal, like Ontario and British Columbia.

Author: QUITTNER [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:06:34 11/25/04 Thu To change the territories of Canada into provinces would require an amendment of the Constitution Act, and that would very likely take a long time. Usually constitutions are made difficult to change on purpose. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
