Very likely alot of Canadian growth would have gone to points further south with a milder winter. Toronto would have succeeded regardless but be a significantly smaller city than it is today.

Agree that Britain screwed its remaining American colonies (Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, etc) in 1783. They negotiated away so much prime territory. And it's no better today. In 2020, Canada should be the face of the Commonwealth in North America. The reality is that Britain, Australia, India, etc see the US and we're a peculiar after thought they no next to nothing about. Being in the Commonwealth has NO benefits whatsoever.
