The pioneer days were over in Toronto.
Sounds off-the-mark, but go to the threads on American Civil War Songs and get those not concerned with politics, patriotism and war. All of the old pop songs of the day in the USA were popular in Canada- Stephen Foster songs such as I Dream of Jeannie, others composers works such as Aura Lee, Lorena, Listen to the Mockingbird (older but ever-popular), etc. Ian C has the right idea.
Don't forget the minstrel songs, the tours played Toronto.
Add some Irish Loyalist and Scots songs. I frankly doubt that there was much of Child heard there. Some French but not too much. This was Confederation time; there might be a song or two about that (these songs often ponderous unless sung for comic relief).
