What legal obligation?
This from Wikipedia:
After Nazi Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, the United Kingdom and France declared war on September 3.[2][3] To assert Canada's independence from the UK, as already established by the Statute of Westminster 1931, Canada's political leaders decided to seek the approval of the federal parliament to declare war.[1][2][4][5]

' the only Canadian declaration of war dates back to the Second World War. “In 1939 Britain declared war on September 3, but Canada waited, to emphasize its autonomy. Parliamentary debate (September 9) preceded the order in council declaring war (September 10). A similar procedure was followed when Canada declared war on Italy in 1940.'
Why don't people check first?
