I believe that Upper Canada (like Hudson Bay area) is the English speaking Canada. It was controlled largley by the HBC. Lower Canada, which is now mostly Quebec, was French Canada. This probably includes New Brunswick and parts of Ontario. If you go to the Canada Genweb, I believe there are maps that will show you the boundaries.
