I guess I’m more familiar with the Canadian propaganda which mainly seem to focus on victory bonds.

This got me thinking though, our population is so god damn small compared to America. In 1939 we had just over 11 million people compared to 130.9 million in the states. You probably had more cars than we had people. Yup, apparently you guys had 26,501,443 vehicles by 1929 before we even had 11 million people. Not sure how much our own oil industry affected WW2 though, apparently we didn’t realize Alberta full potential until 1947 and instead imported from America up until then. Which I guess answers the question of how we became one big mostly happy country instead of a bunch of small countries constantly fighting. We were basically Canada, doing our thing and then we got resources after we had allies and all that set up. There’s probably more to that as well.
