  1. Earlier Canadian Confederation

    I've been thinking a lot about more populous ALT Canada's in recent months. I'm not well versed in the intricacies of the Confederation, but for those who do have expertise how soon could confederation plausibly have happened after the 1837-8 Rebellions. And Assuming a TL where confederation is...
  2. Can the Avro Arrow be saved?

    Like it says on the tin. Can the CF-105 Arrow, a jet interceptor designed and built by Avro Canada in the 1950s, be saved from being canceled during its test phase in 1959? What led to the project being scrapped in the first place, and, should it be a success, would Avro Canada continue to exist...

    How can the NDP win a Canadian parliamentary election?

    The New Democratic Party in Canada has been a weirdly successful third party at times with so what would be the best way to have them secure a full win in a Canadian election? The best point I can see is back in 2011 when they came in second with 30% of the vote but it seems like a fairly steep...
  4. Make Canada More Populous Within OTL Borders

    Most threads talking about a larger/more populous/more powerful Canada go the route of "Southern Expansion," giving Canada more of the Midwest, Great Plains, and PNW. That requires a much earlier POD though, usually War of 1812 or before. I'm more curious about the capacity to develop Canada...
  5. Canadian Space Shuttle Names

    This is a sequel thread to my thread of the same name last year i am likely going to do a reboot timeline of my old one and am looking for some names My choices as of right now are (along with my thoughts on them) Bonaventure, after the aircraft carrier (mostly did peace missions) Champlain...
  6. Increased Migration to Canada in the 19th century

    Could Canada pull migration that was bound for the United States in the 19th century that by 1870 the population of Canada would be 10 million and USA reduced to 30 million? E.g. Scandinavian preferring Canada instead of the United States instead of like in the prairies like North and South...
  7. AH question - fate of the diocese of Quebec with an earlier conquest of Quebec

    For some context, the Roman Catholic diocese of Quebec was established in 1658, with François de Laval as its first bishop. After the conquest of Quebec by Britain during the Seven Years' War, the Roman Catholic diocese of Quebec was allowed to continue, and was later permitted to collect...
  8. Canada Suspends Diplomatic Relations with Cuba during Cold War

    Re-posting this topic: IOTL, when the US suspended diplomatic relations with the Cuban government under Fidel Castro in 1960 and placed an embargo on it, Canada, usually a staunch US ally in international relations, notably refused to join the US under its Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. In...

    Vikings down the St. Lawrence - Effects on Indigenous Societies.

    The idea of a surviving Norse presence in the Americas is a very popular 'What if'. In an alternate scenario where there was a continuous Viking settlement in Vinland - What is now Newfoundland- is a very interesting subject in alternate history. However, I wanted to talk about one thing...

    American and Canadian pop culture in a TL where crime dramas flop and other changes

    I'm curious what the television and film landscapes in America and Canada would look like with some big changes. What would happen to TV if for some reason, crime dramas/police shows massively flopped after the 60s? Also, what would happen if anime and tokusatsu was somewhat more popular than...

    Alternate Development of the United States

    A buddy and I were making an alternate history of the United States if it owned Canada. I went to view previous threads by other people, but I found them to be lackluster, or that they got railroaded very quickly. In the case of this United States, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI, etc. took up the...
  12. What if Canada took over the Northern United States?

    What if Canada took 7 States out of the United States and named them with Canadian-themed names, like Maplia and Kraftdinneria?

    Black Canadian realities lived up to the Myths

    I grew up in southern Ontario, where we constantly heard myths about what made being Canadian so great. We weren't Americans! We didn't do silly things throw tea into harbours or fight for our freedom, and we didn't have slavery or racism, daggummit! In fact, things were so great here that...
  14. Washington under The North: A Different War of 1812
    Threadmarks: Washington Under The North: A Different War of 1812

    In this timeline, The War of 1812 resulted in the British keeping The US again, since they can stop all American expansion if they fully annexed the United States of America, they also made the US part of the colony of Upper Canada & and other Colonies, and the south the Confederacy since this...

    What Would A Scandinavian-Colonized Canada Look Like?

    Recently there have been a number of "what if x country colonized x region" threads here, so I might as well continue that trend. I'm currently working on a TL where the Kalmar Union survives, and one of the big knock-on effects of that is that Canada (plus most of New England) will be colonized...

    Political Effects of New Brunswick Joining The ARW And Becoming A State?

    Let's say that new Brunswick joins the American revolution. Could be that British taxes are just that little bit worse, or red coat actions shock the people to the point where they send delegates to the continental congress. Now, I'm fully aware that fear of British reprisal was strong and that...

    AHC/WI: French Brazil, Portuguese Canada

    IOTL, Portugal briefly flirted with colonizing eastern Canada (Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia), while France attempted to take Brazil in the 1550's. I'm planning out a TL where I basically swap France and Portugal around: France gets Brazil, successfully throwing out the Portuguese, and as...

    Three Pre-Revolution, ARW, and ACW TL poll

    So for the last few days, I've had a few ideas about a TL I could do in the meantime as I'm focusing on TEE, which will have updates every now and again. The TLs I'm considering have PoDs in either the 1710s, 1600s, or even 1500s, while the ACW will obviously have an 1800s PoD. Here are the...
