== == By the end of WW2, the British land forces had about 60 percent Canadian made small arms, such as rifles, Bren Guns and anti tank weapons. The Royal Airforce had 100's of Canadian made aircraft, such as Hurricanes, Spitfires and Mustangs, which had been built in Canada. The RAF heavy bomber units had about 40 percent Canadian built Halifax and Lancaster aircraft. Canada supplied millions of rounds of rifle, machine gun and pistol ammunition, as well as 75mm tank gun rounds, 25 pounder artillery gun rounds and naval torpedos and anti-submarine depth charges. All of this production was sent to Britain by ship from Canadian manufacturing plants, mainly in Ontario and Quebec. The western Provinces contributed agricultural products like flour, bran, beef and pork which was butchered and canned for military rations, and to feed the British people. Butter and honey was also sent in cans and so was sugar, made from sugar beets. Canada also made military uniforms and wool blankets for the British armed forces, and flotation life jackets for the Royal Navy, as well as silk parachutes for the RAF. Canadian lumber was sent to build new military bases in the UK , and we also provided steam locomotives for the British railways to help move more supplies around. Trucks by the thousands were built in Canada and supplied to both the British and Indian armies for moving men and supplies. So, Yes, Canada made a huge contribution to the winning of WW2, not only in terms of manpower for the fighting units of the Canadian Forces, but also in terms of material goods and food stuffs that helped to feed the British people during the war.

Who were the good guys in the Revolutionary War?
Well, in my opinion, as an American, I think the good guys are the Great Britain. However, it depends on how you view it. The reason why I think the Great Britain is the good guys is because the 13 colonies should not have argued back. The Great Britain created the 13 colonies and supported it. Without the Great Britain, the 13 colonies would not have existed. The colonists should respect and obey the Great Britain as a thank you gift. After all, the Great Britain is the mother country of the United States, until the United States departed from the Great Britain. It's just like having your own son disrespecting you after you have sacrificed everything to help your child to succeed. All the hard work would be for nothing then. Therefore, the colonists shouldn't have fought back against the Great Britain in advance. The colonists have caused a great dispute. If one chooses to live in the new world, he shall leave his small amount of property and a right to vote for a greater amount of property but no right to vote. The Great Britain is not the greedy ones, but the colonists are as if they want more. The colonists has no right to complain whatsoever.
