What is the Dominion of Canada?
A. “Dominion of Canada” is a title that was used for much of the late 19th and early 20th Century to refer to the nation of Canada in a full, formal capacity. Just like individuals, most countries have both a “short-form” and “long-form” name, with one for casual use and the other for formal situations. For example, “Germany” would be the casual name, while “The Federal Republic of Germany” would be the formal title. For many years “the Dominion of Canada” was used as Canada’s long-form name.
