    HMS Hood refit?

    Go North, Young Man: The Great Canada

    Another thing that may have changed is how the Civil Right Movement in the States progressed. Civil Rights Leaders might point out how much better people of colour are treated north of the Border, including Montreal's welcome and support of Jackie Robinson during his time with the Montreal...

    Maybe they also make the habitation module that would allow earlier crews of six on the ISS than in OTL.

    RN cruiser sunk at Dogger Bank, Oct 1904

    I wonder though, if they did sink Retribution, how many of their ships would have been sunk in the process?

    RN cruiser sunk at Dogger Bank, Oct 1904

    Besides, a more appropriate analogue is the Japanese cruiser Mogami. Managed to hit five ships with six torpedoes. Of course, all five ships were also Japanese. Plus all her collisions.

    One thing's for sure, Grenada isn't likely going to get invaded ITTL, and I'm quite sure any Communist movements would be taken down quite quickly.

    RN cruiser sunk at Dogger Bank, Oct 1904

    Actually, the real question is: can the Russians even hit the British Cruiser? This was a naval formation that hit themselves more than they actually hit other ships.

    How does the Falklands War go, given that the British now have far more bombers, Nuclear Powered Carriers plus proper escorts, and undoubtedly some non-combat support from the Commonwealth.

    So they go the Jordanian route, or towards Constitutional Monarchy?

    Go North, Young Man: The Great Canada

    Various questions and comments: -I assume Paul Hellyer was never appointed as Defence Minister ITTL? -HMCS Haida is one of TTL's Iroquois-class? Was her Tribal-class namesake still preserved in Hamilton as in OTL? -I presume we will see what happened during the Six-Day War and more details on...

    I assume either BOAC had different Executives, or the British Government forced them to stop interfering with British Companies, since alot of the problems with British commercial aviation was because of boneheaded requests from BOAC.

    I think British Leyland will needs to drastic changes from becoming the makers of such cars as the Morris Marina, the Austin Allegro, and the Triumph Stag. Canadian-style Welfare Capitalism might help reduce the influence of Communists in British Unions, and avoid the massive strikes that...

    Given the era it was built, is is likely that the IAR-4 looks like a Tavor with the handguard and aesthetics of the FN FAL (C1) Rifle?

    France's support is key in Canada getting permanent membership. The Soviets might have tolerated Canada given it is possible the Soviets received some materiel from Canada via lend-lease. Australia's interests could be represented by Britain and Canada, and eventually becomes a regular...
