I'm liking it, tho at times there are some things that strain my willingness to suspend disbelief.  The most unlikely thing was the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance.  Certainly the Japanese would welcome such an event, but it was the British who terminated it so as to strengthen ties with the US and I don't see anything in this timeline so far that would cause the British to reverse their position.

Thing is, those assurances wouldn't have affected Britain's concern, or more accurately, Canada's concern, that the alliance would cause the Commonwealth to be drawn into a Japanese-American conflict.  You'd need to have some changes in British policy to make a restoration of the alliance practical.  Also, the ending of the alliance was formally part of the Washington Naval Conference treaties that were negotiated before the points of departure of your timeline.  A renewal of the alliance could well lead to the end of the Five-Power Treaty limiting naval armaments which a war-weary Britain would not want to put at risk.
