Internet news really, really sucks

Well if the Americans had lost, there's no way the French would have relinquished Louisana without a fight. My guess is that we would would have ended up with a Super Canada (Canada plus Eastern USA) with a Super Mexico (Mexico plus Western USA), a Super Alaska (Russian Alaska) and possibly a Florida. All independent of course, but the first two inside the Commonwealth.

There would be far fewer people in North America.  Not nearly as many people would want to immigrate from Europe to be under Britain's thumb.

Well to be fair they were flooding over in pretty overwhelming numbers to do that before the revolution.

When was universal manhood suffrage enacted in Canada?

Not sure but nobody got to vote for President in South Carolina until 1868

[Monoriu]

So for example, Trump said something stupid about Hillary Clinton and her stupid bathroom break and it's huge "news" with 3059 related articles.

Sometimes I wonder if it would not have been better if the British had won.

May end up with tough gun control laws, universal health care, and a parliamentary system.  The Queen may visit from time to time 

By the sound of it Mono, you only had one of those, though at least you did get the occasional Liz visit. 

Hong Kong has tough gun controls and universal healthcare.

If Internet news is so terrible, I am sure Hansmeister's blog's updated with real news for real people.

You sure about that?

Why would you think that?

Canada had tremendous amounts of immigration - greater per capita than the US - in the 19th and early 20th century.

Not that impressive.  You had three Scotsmen and 12 Frenchies living there when it started.

Rights came slower to Canada.  Inability of elected officials dictate foreign policy.  Ability to expand westward curtailed.  There was substantial immigration from Britain to the US.  My ancestors were trying to get away from Monarchy some in particular were trying to get away from British Monarchy.  I don't think they would have been so keen to set up shop in British territory.  On the plus side, without that safety valve British politics would likely have been much different.  They may not have fared so well in 1848.

The American British did win 

It is a shame that the UK didn't come up with the Dominion wheeze a few decades earlier though. I presume, though, that George III would have regarded such a plan as an intolerable incursion on his prerogative.

I largely find myself using Google news

What's too stop the colonists from sucking in Britain into a war over Louisiana, just like they did over Ohio? Repeat for Texas and California.

The most reputable sites that I use are Google News, NBCnews.com, and the Guardian.

It's really all Fredrick's fault for getting himself killed playing cricket. If he had succeeded George II, the whigs would have stayed in power and Pitt would have kept everything together.

You sure about that?

Pretty sure there was no popular vote for President prior to 1868. Given that is what their State Constitution said and all.

I saw a news site called Agence France Presse. Never heard of it.  WTF is it?
