I think its pretty obvious Canada & the 13 colonies developed differently. Also for much of the time Canada was under French control - a radically different royal system then the English one. Remember royal charter colonies & private charter were set up to function differently. Every colony was different. England for the most part responded differently and haphazardly to each one over time.The French had a more coherent policy to its colony over time. The British did only at the end, by then it was too late.

British policy at the time of the revolution likely was the same for Ontario as Massachusetts as Virginia. However for Massachusetts, Virginia and 11 others it was a radical & intrusive change.

That Massachusetts and Virginia saw it as abusive while Ontario did not is EXACTLY my point.

"Usurpations" and "Abuse" are subjective, meaning it is up to the people who are suffering them to characterize them that way.

They are in the "eye of the beholder", just as I have been saying.
