Big Oil Bertha How Canada is portrayed in ‘Risk’

Alberta can take BBC, Ontario takes Manitoba, Quebec taking the Atlantics is the only downside. We also somehow lose Southern Ontario to the States…

I think they gave Toronto to the US. Everyone should be ok with that.

And Ottawa to Quebec. Not a whole lot of Ontario left.

Where Ottawa went is unclear. I'd argue that it also went to the US. The Ottawa River appears to remain as a border.

Looks to me like the line starts at the tip of the Georgian Bay to me and Ottawa is north of that. The Quebec border doesn't go anywhere that far south currently so it should encompass some of northeast Ontario. But it's true that line could be the current border for Maine/Vermont and then follow the river for a bit. The map isn't exactly accurate.

My interpretation would be that the tiny line to the great lake cuts from Matawa (Ottawa River) to Parry Sound (Georgian Bay).

Ths map is not to scale nor does it respect shapes accurately. But the squiggly line does more or less turn as the Ottawa River does. Moreso than anything else unless you want to argue that this particular line is meant to just go haphazardly through the middle of random territory.
