Simply put, Canada sent about 700,000 soldiers overseas, of whom about 42,000 died. At home, the war was the focal point of Canadian industry from early 1941 to mid-1945. All Canadian industry was allocated supplies by the Minister of Munitions and Supply. In essence, Canada had a planned economy during WW2, similar in many respects to the Soviet Union.

Rationing of petroleum products and meat was effected. Most imported goods, such as sugar, rubber, silk was in tight supply or non-esistent for consumers.

Canadian technology bounded during the war, and by the end of it, Canada was part of the nuclear league, with experimental reactors, uranium production and enrichment facilities. The Canadian Navy was the third largest such fleet in the world by war's end.
