Despite natives being here first, they were not essential to the survival of European settlers. Given time and experience to learn to adapt,  Europeans would still have come, settled and the same outcomes of cities, industries, and societies would have occurred. Montreal would probably still be where it is today even if it had not been a native village first.  Same for Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.  Over all natives contributed nothing to the industrialization of Canada that you now take credit for.
