Here's a question - what if France had won the French and Indian War? Twice Washington marched militia over the mountains to take the Ohio Valley from France, and twice he lost. He was not the only losing general on the English side. A minor adjustment at Quebec and the French might still control all the lands west of the Appalachians. We might still have a United States, but it would be cramped along the Eastern Seaboard. This series accepts that version of history and explores life in a very different Canada - a powerful Canada with a capital in Green Bay and struggles between the Catholic North and Protestant Louisiana.
