Canadian titles debate
Nickle Resolution; Canadian Titles Debate; Nickel Resolution
The Canadian titles debate originated with the presentation to the House of Commons of Canada of the Nickle Resolution in 1917. This resolution marked the earliest attempt to establish a Government of Canada policy requesting the sovereign, in the right of the United Kingdom, not to grant knighthoods, baronetcies and peerages to Canadians, and set the precedent for later policies restricting Canadians from accepting titles from foreign countries.
