Thanks of all of the replies everybody.
I just wondered if any peers could be created in Canada and such. Maybe Victoria could create some in Canada.
I also thought it would be interesting to have a house of Lords in Canada instead of a Senate. The idea of an earl of Ottawa or a Duke of Quebec very much interests me. I image it would also be very interesting in the other Commonwealth countries. What effect would these have if they happened in these countries?
Would this heavily effect the politics of these countries, or the selection of Governor Generals?
I also wonder if eventually that a hypothetical house of lords in these countries they might include the local native chiefs.
Sorry if this sound completely stupid but I don't know a lot on the subject.
If the war of 1812 had gone better for the British, and if the Indians (in particular Tecumseh's confederation) had done better, then Tecumseh could easily have been given a baronage. Of course, the concept of hereditary leadership inheritance rules are quite different between the relevant Indian tribes and the Brits, and the most important leaders (Joseph Brant and Tecumseh) were hereditary leaders, anyway!
But, yes, in such a situation, I could see the Brits e.g. recognizing the paramount leader of 1) the 6 Nations and 2) Tecumseh's confederacy as a 'prince', even.
As for the Senate being a House of Lords - there weren't enough Lords (Barons and higher) around, and I doubt that the Brits would be interested in creating the rank inflation that would be needed to make enough.
If they went with a House of Nobles (say) and initially let in everyone who was a knight, gradually raising the bar to baronets and then barons (by, oh, say 1900), that, too might be possible. But it would be a bit tricky. Especially since you didn't have even that many knights around early on...
In a situation where the Indians are more effective (which would involve the Brits keeping the Lakes open so they could be fed), you could quite possibly get, say, a dozen or so 'barons' and a couple of 'earls' or 'princes' (e.g. one baron for each of the Six Nations, an earl/prince for the lot together). THe biggest problem is where would they get the whites to counterbalance them, because no way are they going to let the upper house be controlled by Indians (First Nations/Natives/aboriginals/...)
I have Prevost in the aftermath of a much better 1812 being made Viceroy (as an office), and given the rank of Marquis (personally), with the Viceroy being able to create simple knighthoods on his own, but not anything higher. That is, IMO, well within possibility, given the situation in the TL. How you do much more than that, I'm not sure.
