You should document your claim that Canada supplied more arms and material. No way. All the arms and material brought to Europe and used by American forces were arms and materials supplied on your behalf. You DID count that, right?

I was referring to arms and material purely supplied to Britain and used purely by Britain. Trying to include stuff used by American troops fudges the issue.

Despite Lend Lease, Canada actually supplied more arms and material 1939-45 to us than the US did. That is not to say of course that the US didnt supply us with a great deal 1941-45 via Lend Lease.

Canada also gave Britain $6 BILLION during WW2 via ‘Mutual Aid’, which was Canada’s Lend Lease scheme.

And Britain GAVE America $12B in ‘reverse lend lease’ from Jan 1942 to Sept 1945, a lend lease now almost forgotten by both the US and UK.

America also received $10B or so in reverse lend lease from the USSR, Australia and New Zealand.
