After the Columbia disaster in 2003, the decision was made to retire the space shuttles, and during these years the Canadian government opened negotiations with the US government and NASA to acquire its retiring shuttles and OV-101 enterprise, while there was initial pushback from the public and...

In the mid-'70s, there was a debate in the house of common's Liberals and Conservatives argue back and forth on the subject, but it is believed that this will revitalize the Canadian Aerospace market after Black Friday "We don't need it," some say. "it will create jobs," others say. finally, it...

What if the Canadian prairies became a refuge for Jews from the Russian empire, beginning prior to large-scale immigration on the Canadian prairies? The Canadian prairies are distinct because of the larger numbers of settlers that came from the Austrian and Russian Empires, especially leading...

Toronto (then still known as York) becoming the capital of Upper Canada, later Ontario, in 1797 was is some ways a fluke. At the time the argument was between two other sites, with a third in de-facto contention. London: the Governor's pick Governor Simcoe wanted to place the colony's capital...

This is a scenario I thought about recently. In 1763, after the Seven Years' war, a large portion of the french colony of New France was taken by the english, becoming the province of Quebec. Despite that, the francophone population remained there and later became a part of the diverse country...

Prologue: First Contact So it was that Bjarne Herjulfson came to Greenland, and Jarl Érik received him well. And Bjarne spoke of lands he had seen, further to the west, but could not tell further stories, and so people gave his words no heed, and he was wroth. But Leif, son of Érik, was struck...

Here is the challenge: Have Canada's western border with the USA (Michigan to Oregon) reach as far south as the 42nd parallel.

So, the scenario where Canada is a part of America in some form or another is a fairly common one on this site, but I don't recall any in-depth discussion about how the population distribution would change should America control Canada. There have been some threads which discuss whether Canada...

As the title states Britain decides shortly after America gains its independence Britain decides its best bet is to unite at least the continental British North American Colonies. How does this affect history? The entity that is known as Canada OTL is formed years earlier. Do I think it would be...

So most 1860s Third Anglo American War discussions and TLs usually go with a PoD in 1861 or 1862, such as the ever-popular Trent Affair escalates premise. Usually the conclusion reached is that the United States simply loses or is forced to make a separate peace with the British for a whole...

I find the intended plan for Ontario (originally Upper Canada) fascinating: to replicate England, again, except better than last time they did it in New England. To this end, they even thought the counties should be named the same. From south to north, it even matches the east coast of England...

At the same time as the Americans are having theirs or the 1830s?

After Charlesbourg-Royal was abandoned in 1543, I found it somewhat odd that there wasn't another French attempt to settle in Canada until 1598 at Sable Island. The first successful attempt was not until 1599 with Tadoussac. To put it in perspective, the second Roanoke colony was settled in 1587...

As the title says, which of these now-defunct nations would survive the longest? The most obvious answer would be the CSA, which is exactly why it isn't on the list...

Hi. Hey. So, I'm doing a TL starting from a successful Exocet missile strike during the Falklands conflict and the changes caused therein. And you're doing this introduction as a back-and-forth monologue, instead of, I don't know, writing a well-worded paragraph? Hey, I’m just following the...

As we who have read Harry T's Southern Victory series know, following the Central Powers' victory in the First Great War, Canada, after 54 years of independence, ceases to exist, coming under an indefinitely-long U.S. military occupation (save for Quebec, which became an independent state...

Hello all, So, the beaver trade was one of the main motivating factors behind the early European colonisation of North America. As the European beaver population declined, demand for beaver fur grew, and the North American beaver trade became increasingly important both to European colonisers...

A couple of years ago now the YouTuber UsefulCharts did an alternate history chart, of who would be King of Canada if Canada‘s monarchy after independence had a monarch from the British royal family, but seperate to Queen Victoria. The Prince chosen in this video was Prince Alfred, Victoria’s...

Recently I've learned of the existence of a free trade agreement discussed between the United States and Canada in 1911 that would result in the free exchange of natural resources between the two countries. However, the agreement never went through due to opposition from those in the Canadian...

Do during WW1 the Canadian Navy had ordered 3 Queen Elizabeth class ships this did go so what things like the ear ending a government in fighting. But what would happen if it did? How would the Canadian Navy's role change? Anything else it might effect?
