What major historical events do you remember?

I was a citizen and a young person in Canada when the British North America act was repatriated and made into the Constitution act for Canada.

Freedom guaranteed

Home rule comes home to Canada

Attached to the legislation was the charter of Rights and Freedoms for Canadians. A significance was that people would have their freedoms codified as opposed to determined by common law. In other words Court decisions. Meaning that anything is done, any laws had to be at the standard of charter proof.
