Britain is reponsible for the islands' defence and foreign affairs.
If 99.8% of the British citizens of the islands, in a 92% turnout, voted against becoming Canadian, just as 99.8% of the British citizens, in a 92% turnout, of the Falkland Islands voted against becoming Argentinian back in March, that'll be pretty humiliating for Canada. Talk about feeling unwanted.
According to the CIA, the per-capita GDP of the T&C is $29 100.
Canada's is $42 533.
Under the queen, those poverty-stricken T&C are not faring well. Well, until they say "Farewell" to Britain.

And then just imagine what I'd be like.
Can you give me any evidence that slavery exists on the islands?
I've already stated that there would be no humiliation on our part.
I didn't say slavery exists. I said your statements show that is how you think of them. You're the one who said they shouldn't have the right to vote on whether to be Canadian or British. No right to determine one's own future is slavery.
Your opinion as posted. Now live with it.
Well they SHOULDN'T have the right to vote on whether to be British or Canadian. Why should the British willingly allow chunks of their territory to be ceded to another nation?
Like I said. You wish to keep them enslaved. Yessum Master!
You're an idiot!
The only time I show any interest in the Pope is when we burn effigies of him on top of bonfires every Guy Fawkes Night.
You should. There are enough Catholics in SA to completely remove the turd in the Atlantic punchbowl you live on from the face of the Earth
Why are these people more precious to you than Scots? Without the Scots and their engineering, there would be no Britain or Commonwealth.
They'll take whatever is best for them.
There would be humiliation for Canada is almost 100% of the islanders said they don't want to be Canadian.
