With a POD no earlier than 1815, make Canada stop being a Commonwealth Realm and become a republic.
No "Canada join the US lel" please.

Ah yes, the King-King Affair.Have Canada become a Kingdom in 1867, have a popular monarch or two or three, followed by several really unpopular and crappy ones. Have it come to a head in the 1930's Great Depression, and boom, Canadian republic.
Oh wait, this is BEFORE 1900? Revolutions of 1837, no?

To make a it Canada a republic you need it to have it own revolution, like maybe in 1867.![]()
AAAHH!!! BUTTERFLY GENOCIDE!!!The problem is that neither took off in a big way. The Lower Canada rebellion was more successful and lasted a little longer than the Upper Canada rebellion, but it still would have only been a matter of time before Britain stamped it out.
The best chance is for Canada to become a Kingdom with its own king, have things go really well for a while until around WWI where more Canadians will question the necessity of their involvement, as they are their own Kingdom now. Factor in the Great Depression just two decades later with a shitty monarch on top of that (who's lavish lifestyle and excess will sting more in Canada as it will be more present) and it's quite possible for a majority of Canadians to demand a referendum on becoming a republic.
It's peaceful and entirely plausible.
Turning the country red might not help. Unlike in the UK, Aus, etc. socialism isn't closely tied to republicanism here, especially on the Prairies. Socialist Winnipeg loves the Queen and always has.
