We lost. America dominates the continent, we don't. We are confined to a land of tundra and rock, save for a few pockets of arable land scattered across 5000 km. America is a giant with over 60% of the land in the continental USA used for crops or ranching. (Canada is 7.3%)
Sure the invasion was repulsed, but this was when the British were at the height of their power. America stopped multiple British invasions. If even one of those had succeeded the border might be where Michigan's southern border is now.
Off topic, but I think we should start a Stalin-like 5-year plan and bring in some of the 30 million unemployed Europeans to dynamite huge areas of the Canadian Shield and turn it into farmland. With global warming the climate might become warm enough that it could work.
