It surely would have. That said, what Canada didn't get back then we may end up getting in the long run. Climate change comes with lots of negatives but it's also making huge swaths of Canada more appealing from a climate POV. We may not see the benefits of that but I suspect Western Canada will be a vastly more populated place in 2100. The settled area will grow with the grain belt stretching north to Yellowknife.
