Hey all,

So, the anniversary of the start of the first Weltkrieg is only a few years away, and with it the rise of Canada's superpower status. Was this a good thing, though? For instance, WI Canada hadn't intervened in the 2nd American Civil War? Would the American Union, or the Syndicalists, have been able to build a viable state? Obviously the American Union was unworkable, but the Chicago Commune fared fairly well before the Canucks took it in the winter of 1938... who knows what syndicalism would have led to, if it blossomed in America instead of a defeated France? Look how at how the People's Republic of India managed to rapidly industrialize under its leadership.

Or consider Canada's role in the Great War. First, I do not believe that France was the nightmare that most do. Sure, it had secret police; but so did many of Germany's allies, like the Ukraine. And the Union of Britain was hardly a dictatorship. Who is to say that Britain wouldn't have developed into the Social Democracy it is today under the leadership of Maclean instead of the Windsors?

And let's not get into their support for Japan...
