Ontario is the only part of former Canada still under British sway; on September 3, 1930, the Dominion of Canada was officially dissolved and replaced with the Protectorate of Ontario. All the other former Canadian provinces had decided to gpo their separate ways. Unlike the Dominion, which had been virtually independent, the Protectorate is firmly under British rule, and British troops are used to defend her borders, so the state militias so common in America do not prevail here. In 1937, the border clashes between Quebec and the Maritime Provinces degenerated into a small-scale war. Hoping to reclaim their vagrant province, Ontario intervened against Quebec in what was to be known as the St Lawrence Incident. The only permanent land gain from this brushfire war was that the Lake Ontario channels are now under "international supervision", that is under ISA dominance. The territory still belongs to Ontario, but is demilitarized and customs-free, a series of free ports.
