Much more positive than rule by other European Empires. While many people concentrate on the negative aspects of British rule they almost always ignore what the alternative was.
Canada needs only look at the history of those colonised by other European Empires, such as the Spanish or French, to see that our connection to the worlds superpower that Britain became was very positive.
Not being ruled by a European power was never an option for this area of the world.
It wasn't

Canada never really "joined" the British Empire. Rather the reverse, the British Empire acquired Canada in pieces, with no volition on the part of Canadians, either the original native inhabitants, or the contingent of New France settlers in the 18th century, whom the British conquered and occupied. Just as the United States was once a part of the British Empire, which was not a conscious act. The difference being that the United States separated from the Empire, in a revolution, whereas Canada more or less evolved as a distinct and sovereign country. And even the Empire evolved, world wide, into the Commonwealth of Nations, sharing the monarch, but really nothing else.
The British Empire took complete control of Canada (from France) in 1763, and it became independent (part of the British Commonwealth) in 1867.
Whilst Canada was in the British Empire Britain was burdened with the main responsibility and expense for defending these territories.
Probably because Canada is part of the British Empire.

Canada didnt join it was fought over by the French and British in which the Brits ended up winning therefore becoming part of her empire.

Canada was still a trading partner of the United States when it was part of the British Empire. Canadian products traded with the U.S. include maple syrup and furs.
