Talk:Deed of Surrender

I deleted this sentence: However, on 30 March 2023, a joint statemant^[1] issued by the Vatican and the Dicastery for Culture and the Dicastery for Integral Human Development explicitly rejects the document referred to as the doctrine of discovery.^[2] As it has nothing to do with the topic of this article, which is the transfer of the privately held territories of the Hudson Bay Company to the newly formed state of Canada. If one wants to expand on the legal status on which the original taking of possession of these territories rest, which I feel is an excellent topic for an article in its own right, as a part of that one might add some recent opinion of churches. These opinions do not change the history as described here offcourse. One should not confuse the cold facts with our present day opinions Codiv (talk) 11:01, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Does the article use the right infobox template and the right fields in it? "Enacted by" and "royal assent" don't sound right for an order in council. Articles for other orders in council, eg Temples Order 1971, use {{Infobox UK legislation}}, with date fields for "made", "laid before parliament", and "commencement". But maybe 19th century orders should have different terminology. The fact that this order has been incorporated into the Canadian constitution might complicate things too.

I think there are problems with this article, beginning with the title and carrying on from there. It’s on my “To Do” list. (The Deed of Surrender was schedule C to the order, not the order itself.) Will take a look. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 21:39, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Updated the infobox. Article still needs work; will try to get to it soon. Major thing to do is to move it to a new title. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
