A good Master's Thesis question, and the big debate remains over the Canadian refusal to send conscripts overseas, which led to manpower shortages at the front. However, Canada's contributions were quite immense...at war's end, she had the fourth-largest navy and fifth-largest air force in the world, and the first field (and probably only) army in her history, with two corps under command. Canada provided industry and agriculture, and bases for the British Empire Training Program, which enabled RAF crews from across the Commonwealth to train over vast open spaces in Canada without fear of enemy attack. Canadian destroyer escorts were critical in winning the battle of the Atlantic. The last Canadian to win the Victoria Cross died some weeks ago, Smokey Smith, who gained his coveted hardware in Italy in 1945.

∙ 12y agoTo an extent. Mackenzie King caused a great deal of grief to Canadian's as he enlisted conscription after promising he would never use it again, and he would not have been brought to this point if Canada had not sent soldiers to fight in foreign lands. If Canada had simply provided the materials and produce for the war, the economy would still achieve the major boom it did, and Quebec would not have separated itself from Canada out of disagreement. ;D
