OK, unlike Australian colonial mil hist, I'm not much of an expert at Canada's mil hist say 1815-1900- but is there any way that the Canadian provinces could've sent combat contingents to assist Britain in say the Crimean War or any other such major conflict during the Canadian Confderation period (in a similar manner to Canadian, Australian & NZ contingents later being sent to Sth Afr for the Boer War), & with what effect on Canadian nationhood ?
