Just like it says on the tin. lets assume that the weather was clearer when the fleet under the command of Admiral Walker sail into the St. Lawrence, allowing them to sail to Quebec while the colonists and a handful of regulars under the command of Francis Nicholson continue through the St. Lawrence Valley. The expedition, as haphazard as it was, veers from crisis to crisis but instead of ending how logic and reason would lead one to expect it would, it has the sort of near-miraculous Washington-crossing-the-Delaware, Washington-escaping-New-York, inexplicable good luck that such ventures occasionally have and the brand-new Union Jack flies from Quebec. The French then decide to abandon Cape Breton Island as the troops are needed elsewhere and holding the island without the interior is pointless.
What effect would it have if New France is captured by the British nearly half a century before it was in OTL? Would there be colonies further west by the time we reach the 1770s? Would Queen Anne or George I create anything like the Proclamation Line? With no French territory to be loyal to, would the Acadians stay in place? Would Quebec have any kind of French character, or is it early enough to flood the region with Englishmen and Scots so much that Montreal is entirely anglophone? Would plenty of land to move west to ease the tensions that led to the American Revolution?
