Colwyn, Canadians were mostly French at that time, and didn't take kindly to the anti-Catholic propaganda coming out of the American revolution. The various attempts to dragoon Canada into the war were laughably bad marketing. Canadians had also been on the French side in the French and Indian war, and were fed up with British-American atrocities. They were not interested in joining an even worse bunch of athiestical radicals than the Protestants who were now their masters.
