Canada is wrong here. I think 1971 is referencing when our new constitution was prepared (which we didn't have the right to implement or edit without British OK until 1982, but this is not celebrated). What is celebrated is Canada Day, 1 July 1867 but that celebrates Confederation into Canada under British rule, not Independence.

Also the graphic looks atrocious
