Present Day Canada Government website incorrectly Titles BNA Act 1867 The Government of Canada mainly Liberal since 1963 is very skilled at practising the Sin Of Omission as shown in the linked text below British North America Act 1867 This website incorrectly refers to this document as the Constitution Act 1867 which is a misnomer and a shameful one indeed 2 As enacted by the Constitution Act 1982 which came into force on April 17 1982 The section as originally enacted read as follows 1 This Act may be cited as The British North America Act 1867 I disagree with your interpretation You re reading a footnote which merely says that originally the 1867 act was to be cited as the British North America Act 1867 But under the law since 1982 it is now to be cited as the Constitution Act 1867 All acts forming the constiution were retroactively renamed Judicial decisions and subsequent legislation use this new naming system This reflects the fact that these documents were not a part of a constitutition when originally created since Canada had no consitution until 1982 Collectively these acts were turned into a constitution and hence renamed What Canada had no Constitution until 1982 You are completely wrong as well as per retroactive re naming that is not what happened at all Please get your facts straight
