Talk:Canada (Canadian Independence)

Issues
I have some issues with this:

1)With no Quebec act, there would be less support for the American Revolution, as it was one of the intolerable acts. While not necessarily buggering the revolution, it would result in a larger United Empire Loyalist population. The UEL was basically the English population of Canada west of the Maritimes. So Ontario would likely be part of Winnipeg if it was cut off from the British.

2)If Quebec is successful in claiming all of Britain's territory in Canada, there would be a huge number of Empire loyalists. With Britain losing all its territory on the east side of Hudson Bay, logical settlement points would be its territory in the west, which at the time would consist of everything from Oregon north to Russian controlled Alaska. Establishing a strong presense with settlers known to be loyal to the crown would be in their best interests, though a lot would also likely settle in Belize and the British Caribbean as well.

3)Since Canada had no territory or even settlers in OTL British Columbia, building the CPR makes no sense.
