Why weren't the Canadian provinces, or territories as they were called then, joined as one with the 13 colonies to the south in the fight against Britain? Weren't the provinces of Ontario, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, etc. just as much a part of 18th Century British North America as Virginia or Massachusetts? Or, were they thought of as an entirely different entity, much like the Carribean Island colonies? Still, New Brunswick and Ontario are geographically much closer to the colonies of Vermont and New York than say Barbados or Jamaica; thus, wouldn't New Brunswick or Ontario have a much simmilar perspective as Massachusetts had on the way Britain was treating her colonies in this part of the world?
