What were the effects of the Europeans coming to Canada?

Canada is a huge nation that was an area that France began to develop as a new world colony. Much of its climate is a cold one with annual snowfall being heavy. After the French and Indian War in the 18th century, the British took control of Canada and explored its vast interior and also its Pacific coast. Native Americans living there were in the "way" of many settlers, and their treatment was not always good. The impact of British colonization was to bring Canada into the modern world and it has a high tech economy and is rich in timber and oil.
