Not any more. Canada is an independent country although it has chosen to retain Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State. It is also one of 52 countries that are part of the British Commonwealth of Nations which are mostly countries that used to be in the British Empire.
British immigrants to America tended to retain much of their British culture
During the American Revolutionary War, Great Britain maintained control over several key states, primarily those in the southern and northern regions. These included New York, which was a significant base for British operations, as well as parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Additionally, they had control over southern states like Georgia and South Carolina at various points during the conflict. The British aimed to retain influence in these areas to suppress the rebellion and maintain colonial power.
After the American Revolution, the British maintained their forts primarily in Canada and along the Great Lakes. They sought to retain control over these strategic locations to protect their trade routes and influence in North America. Additionally, British forts were established to support Indigenous allies and to monitor American expansion into frontier territories. These forts were part of Britain's broader strategy to maintain a presence in North America despite losing the war.
The USA burned the capital of British North America (York) and the British, in retaliation, burned D.C. However, this can not be used as a reason to support the notion that Britain won, as the British were driven out of the city after a tornado devastated their forces. Before any Canadians say that they beat the United States, I must add that Canada was not independent of the British Crown until 1982. Though the US was repulsed from modern day Canada, the invasion of British territory was a strategy to get Britains attention that they should stop forcing Americans into the Royal Navy. At the start of the war, Britain actually outnumbered Americans in North America, but the militia of Canada was still able to hold of America, and when reinforcements arrived in 1814, the Brits drove the US out. All things considered, the war helped and hurt both sides, but hurt Amerindians: USA Objectives: Stop British forces from forcing Americans to serve in the Royal Navy-Check Establish self as a sovereign state once and for all-Check British Objectives: Use minimal forces to retain control of Canada-Check Establish a secure border that would keep Canada and America seperate-Check (Canada also gained a sense of unity between French Canadians and British Can.) Indian Objective: Retain land and stop US expansion-Failed As you can see, both Britain and America accomplished their goals, and thus an argument that either side won would be unfounded and polluted by patriotism.

The massive migration of Loyalists to British North America led to the creation of Upper Canada and Lower Canada in 1791. The Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the Province of Quebec into the two separate colonies. Relations between the English speakers in the west and the French speakers in the east were strained. Splitting the area into two colonies was an attempt to end the French-English conflict and retain the allegiance of the Loyalists in Quebec.The English settlements in Upper Canada would be ruled by British common law and an elected assembly while the French province of Lower Canada would retain the form of government decreed in the Québec Act (a governor and appointed Councillors).
