It was more like trading guns for butter. British guns and ships were traded for Canadian butter. Remember that Ritalin was bankrupted by the high cost of World War 2 and she lost her trading advantages with her more profitable colonies. Food was still rationed in Britain well into the 1950s. Well into the 1950s the Royal Canadian Navy traded butter for ships (aircraft carriers like HMCS Bonaventure) and airplanes (Hawker Sea Furies).In my alternate history “RCAF ‘46” Canada takes over administering several British colonies in the Caribbean, turning a profit by shipping Jamaican bauxite to Canadian smelters, etc.The RCN retains a few troop ships while the RCAF expands its transport fleet with dozens more Canadair Yukons (aka Bristol Britannia). Due to a disagreement with the USA over landing rights, RCAF transports need longer ranges that allow them to refuel in Bermuda or Mexico before continuing on to Carribean Islands.The need for faster over-flights drives Avro Canada to manufacture dozens of Jetliners to replace the handful of dH Comets purchased in the original timeline.
