How would the United States be if it had never become independent from the United Kingdom?

Funny. We have only one city full of fagottry and a couple of parties so small that, these days, they wouldn't even fill a single room. Your problem on the other hand...

The US would be a parliamentary constitutional democracy instead, styled after Westminster. The Queen can technically dissolve parliament and call for immediate general elections, she (her Governor-General really) did something similar in Australia in the 70s, but nowadays I don't know if Can, Aus, NZ wouldn't just try and vote to get rid of the monarchy altogether.

If the immigration patterns remained the same, I'm not sure the USA would be that much different really. Although perhaps the US would've not spread westward in this time line, Napoleon wouldn't have sold Louisiana so readily either lol

Also, they would drive on the proper side of the road and have better food

Does that mean that Canada is not a completely independent country?
So, can the British parliament control the laws of Canada?

I agree with you except in the last point the food of USA would continue being trash as it is today (of course with the vegetarian exceptions).
