  1. WI: Canada border located further south?

    Putting aside the PoD for a moment, how would Canada be effected if it had more territory roughly corresponding to the states of Ohio,Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington? Could this Canada...
  2. WI: Battle of Ridgeway 1866

    Having read a little bit about the Fenian Raids on Canada in the aftermath of the Civil War, I'm intrigued by knowing what the board thinks about the potential alt-history outcomes here. Given that Canadian casualties could have been a lot higher at Ridgeway, as the Fenians never had a chance...
  3. Help me with my timeline: the Western British Empire

    So this is something I've been working on for many years, but some things still just don't feel correct or fit as nicely as I'd like to. I'm hoping a fresh set of eyes will yield some new ideas and workability. Basically, I will be posting various 'sections' of the TL in chronological format...
  4. Canada buys Alaska instead of the United States

    Considering that Canada is in closer proximity to Alaska than America, what if Canada had bought instead of the United States?

    AHC:Canadian Caribbean?

    So after 1900 how likely is it for the Canadians to gain some holdings in the Carribean? Any pod after 1900 works just fine .

    DBWI:American California

    I’ve lived in the California republic for most of my life and after my boyfriend who is a Scotsman himself moved here he said that the USA was close to annexing California.I laughed at the thought of it after all California has a domain over the Pacfic ocean that’s almost untouched not to...
  7. DBWI No Corperate sufferage

    1952, Canada gave candian companies the right to vote as per the corperate person hood act of that year. The law gave companies the right to vote, not one singular vote but a number of votes equal to their full time employees. They were then allowed to vote in local, provincial, and national...

    WI: No Pierre Trudeau

    Now I've seen a few threads discuss this idea, and I'm curious about it myself. What would Canadian politics look like without Pierre Trudeau? Doesn't matter if he's killed in 1949 by a sniper or just decides not to run. How would 1968 Liberal leadership unfold? Would John Turner's support with...
  9. AHC/WI: Canada Joins The US

    With a POD no earlier than 1763, incorporate Canada into the United States, or another independent nation that commands the entire Atlantic Coast from Georgia to Quebec (obviously, with an early POD, this nation might have a different form). I'm entirely aware that the US arbitrarily annexing...

    WI: Stephen Harper Runs For PC Leadership in 1998

    After Charest's resignation, one of the candidates often mentioned was Stephen Harper, who at the time was a former Reform MP who had broke with the party over social issues and was president of the NCC. As early as 1995, Tories and Reformists upset with Charest/Manning's leadership we're...
  11. What if the October Crisis of 1970 was worse?

    Much of the inspiration and ideas can be attributed to a 2007 post but that didn't get a lot of attention. In this particular timeline, the Marxist-Leninist separatist terror group, the Front du Liberation de Quebec takes far more extreme actions than it did in the OTL, having far greater...
  12. AHC: Canadian Scotland

    Inspired by this article in the BBC. Your challenge is (relatively) simple: With a POD any time after 1800, have Scotland become a province of the modern nation of Canada. England, Ireland, Wales, and the rest of the British Empire outside of North America can NOT be included.

    WI : No war of 1812?

    As it says on the tin : what would have been the consequences for USA (or British North America), in the absence of a War of 1812? I'm especially wondering, not-exclusively, to what it would have implied about the inner political tendencies and dynamics in the region (as for nation and identity...

    WI/AHC: Canadian Gallipoli

    The idea is somehow, for both World Wars, and between them, is to give Canada a Gallipoli in that the British cost the Canadians a untold number of live for little to no gain what so ever to a total defeat. In that afterward, it ruins Canadians view of the mother country, creates far greater...
  15. DBWI: What if Austria became independent after WW2

    What would have happened if Austria was separated from Germany following ww2 instead of becoming the Canadian occupation zone of Germany? It seems weird now because Austrians are so clearly German but their was a serious push for it to become independent following ww2 and it was only made an...
  16. WI Canadian Car & Foundry concentrated on building Grummans?

    Warning: Canada wank! What if Canadian Car & Foundry followed up their pre-war production of Grumman FF biplane fighters with wartime production of more Grumman fighters: Wildcats, Hellcats, Avengers, Ducks, Geese, etc? How many CCF airplanes would the British Fleet Air Arm fly? How much...
  17. Dreams of Empires: New France survives

    Hey guys! After years of lurking and an aborted attempt last year, here's first (real) attempt at an alternate timeline. Wish me luck! In the interest of full disclosure, I must say that I am French Canadian, but fear not: this isn't going to be a Quebecwank (or a Francewank for that matter)...

    WI: British Ohio Valley

    Suppose that the british and loyalist forces manage to keep the Ohio Valley and most of the great lakes region (OTL US states of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesotta, and Wisconsin) after the American Independence War. How does this affect... -British Canada and its expansion? Will the...
  19. If America annexes Canada, do they end up with Alaska?

    From what I have heard, one of the main reasons that the Russians sold Alaska to the Americans was that they could not defend it from the British, who they had poor relations with. If the USA annexes Canada earlier somehow, would they sell it? America would have plenty of frozen land to settle...
  20. Trudeau Dies in 1979

    On June 4th, 1979, the Progressive Conservative Party formed government for the first time in sixteen years. Joe Clark had been elected leader of the party three years earlier, and the media seemed to think that both his election as leader and his election as Prime Minister had been almost...
