Likely, because living further north makes agriculture and construction much more difficult.
Originally all English speaking areas in the western hemisphere were English colonies. I think it's pure fluke that our country is where it is, rather than a group of people setting out,
staking a claim to a certain piece of land and being satisfied with the area within their borders.
Why?
Nowhere in Canada is life made "easy" by the weather,
no highly-productive (enabling "get rich quick" schemes in the 18th and 19th centuries) agricultural climates.
Eas-i-e-r places? Yes.
We are far colder as a whole than the British Isles.
I don't think they had planned to build a major empire focused this far north.
I don't think this massive development near your border is either because they wanted to reinvade, or that it's an increbibly awesome place to live.
Anyone disagree?
Does anyone else think the British got the short end of the stick in North America?
Canada in a way wasn't really an independent country until the 1940's or 1950's;
before then we were the "Dominion of Canada" since 1867;
essentially a glorified British colony, with a few extra perks.
Yes, Canada is a much colder, rugged, and more "wild" country than Britian. I think the northernmost parts of Canada were developed when the settlers were looking for gold.

Well, not as bad as here, but cold for Fla.
