present day canada government website incorrectly titles bna act the government of canada mainly liberal since is very skilled at practising the sin of omission as shown in the linked text below british north america act this website incorrectly refers to this document as the constitution act which is a misnomer and a shameful one indeed as enacted by the constitution act which came into force on april the section as originally enacted read as follows this act may be cited as the british north america act i disagree with your interpretation you're reading a footnote which merely says that originally the act was to be cited as the british north america act but under the law since it is now to be cited as the constitution act 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 collectively these acts were turned into a constitution and hence renamed what canada had no constitution until you are completely wrong as well as per retroactive re naming that is not what happened at all please get your facts straight
