AH Challenge: No Alaska Purchase

I think if Alaska hadn't been sold to the US it would be Canadian. The Bristish would have taken it during the Crimean war. Latter it would have been added to Canada.
Canadian Alaska would have the Yukon territory and wouldn't have that strip that goes over British Columbia.

But it was sold AFTER the Crimean War.

British and French operations during the war were aimed at Kamchatka (Petropavlovsk) and were generally unsuccesful.

After 1867, the Russians and later Soviets never went to war with the British.
