Default items of continuing Canadian supply

Canada had a policy of using Canadian-made goods for Canadian soldiers. In some cases this was impossible (Cdns in North Africa or in the 1st Cdn Para Bn who were in British LoC)
Items included uniforms and small arms as well as other goods. In addition Canada supplied huge quantities of goods to the British Army and other allies.
Canada never accepted US Lend-Lease and actually established its own plan, known as Mutial Aid.
