Poland had pretty well been destroyed by the war. The infrastructure (buildings, utilities, transportation centers) had all been severely damaged. Canada, like the US, had not suffered damage and was in good shape. This meant that Poland had to rebuild, Canada did not. Canada had a major economic advantage over most European nations.
Several factors contributed to the postwar havoc.
