How were the struggles for self-rule in canada australia and new zealand alike?

In all three countries, and especially from the perspective of Canada, the people of Canada, by virtue of living in a discrete geographic area far away from Britain with its own resources and own history and with people born and raised here (especially the First Nations in Canada) and who have made their life here and engaged in economic activity here has forged Canada into a separate nation. Also I believe that the threat of another revolution as occurred in the 13 Colonies to oust Britain may have allowed Canada to help loosen the colonial ties with Britain.
