Canadians don't like to acknowledge it, but between United Empire Loyalists, and miners perhaps 35% of the early population of Canada came from the States. About 150,000 UEL and miners to 440,000 people by 1812. Thereafter immigration from Europe was very much greater than US immigration. About 40% of my family came from the States from 1850 to 1900. Even Ontario had gold rush in James Bay back around the turn of the century and US miners were in there too. Nova Scotia and Quebec saw fair number of US immigrants. To this day in Quebec some towns fly the stars and stripes on the fourth of July! Montreal has been trying to block bust industry in these areas for quite a few years now. (They did a lot of suppression of the Irish and Scottish in the latter years of the 19th century. Read the story of the Megantic outlaw.) Population of Canada in 1860 was about 3.3 million. The US was about 9.9 times larger. EC<:-}
