    Post WW1 we were a global power because we had one of the largest logistics chains of chemical weapons.

    Allegedly that played a role in the Nazis not using chemical weapons on troops, because Canada completely outclassed them on that.

      Huh, interesting. Did Canada have an oil industry going already somewhere in the 40’s? Usually that stuff is made in petrochemical facilities.
