In most TLs (including OTL) the US is far superior to Canada economically and militarily. I have seen a few TLs where this is reversed (although they are usually ASB, or include a large chunk of the US in "Canada"). My challenge to you is, with a POD after the British North America Acts of 1867 (which created the Dominion of Canada as a partially independent nation), to make them equals. I don't care what level they are equal at. They can both be third world nations with terrible standards of living, no military and virtually no economy; or they can both be hyperpowers with futuristic modern conveniences, nuclear weapons, and overseas empires. I just want the two nations to be roughly equal by 2009.
