Why were British settlers in Canada loyal to the monarch and the British settlers in the US rebellious?

by Captain_Paran

In the subject. Why were the ones in Canada for the monarchy and why were the ones in the US against the monarchy? Surely it can't be because the US side didn't want to pay taxes and the Canadian side did (nobody likes taxes!)

Wondering if anyone has any insight that could explain this.
