Default Canadian armament production..

GM alone produced the 25pounder at RIL in Regina,Browing machine guns at Border Industries Limited in Windsor,Sexton Hulls in the Walkerville plant,Bofor parts and assemblies in Oshawa,not to mention any vehicle production,plus half tracks at the Internationl plant in Hamilton and Browning pistols and machine guns at the John Inglis Washing Machine Company in Toronto..
That is just a few of the war effort Canadian production facilities I can think of..
Canada today has a huge production percentage of weaponary in the domestic product number..
LAV's out of London..
A robust military electronics industry out of Ottawa..
M1A1 Abrhams upgrades .
Laser guided electronics..
Communications..
On and On....
C-7's out of Cambridge(?).....
