The recent discussions of Canada have caused some questions to occur to me relating to the place of Canada in a world where it is a part of the United States from a fairly early period in it's history. What would the culture of the "Canadian" states be like? How would that culture affect "American" history and culture? And most importantly what will the "Amero-Canadian" UHC scheme look like? To jump start the discussion I'll put up some of what seem the more plausible PoDs if anyone has more interesting ones please feel free to suggest them.
The Revolution. The Proto-Canadian populace (Anglo, French and perhaps even indigenous) sides with the rebels, tells the Brits to shove off and after a long interesting war about which highly inaccurate actions movies can be made they are independent.
The War of 1812. Due to a combination of military competence, popular support (Both American and Canadian) and nearly ASB luck after the Wo1812 the US snags Britain's Canadian territories for a steal as part of the peace settlement.
Rebellions of 1837. The US gets pulled into the rebellions either through American support for those rebelling or their refusal to hunt down the ones using US territory to prepare attacks when the British complain. After either an extended US-supported insurgency or war the UK says “good riddance to the ungrateful wretches”
So, Ideas? Thoughts? Criticism of its sheer implausibility?
