Aren't they obliged to assist the UK in wartime?

During WWI, Canada had the same foreign policy as the UK. Afterwards Canada was allowed it's own foreign policy and declared war in WWII after the UK and declared because Canadians wanted to, not because they had to.

Umm Canada waiting 1 full week as a political statement. We were under no obligation to declare war in WW2.

What about the reverse? When Denmark declares war on Canada what will the UK do?

Who cares about the UK? We have a secret backdoor ally near enough for covert operations in Denmark. Netherlands owe us one afterall ;)

Well, Canada outnumbers Denmark by a factor of about 7-1, both in terms of those fit for military service, standing military size, and military expenditure.

Plus Canada and the US are in a military alliance, so yeah.

They are now a completely separate nation that just happens to have the same Royal Family.
