@SRCHcurveball126 Canada has previously sent 5 separate shipments of 40,000 rounds of the 155 MM, half of which was purchased from the US for Ukraine.
Canada produced about 3,000 a month in Feb 2022 last month it was up to 5,000 a month after Canada was down to a day and half of shells (Canada has forces in Europe in Latvia). Canada produces the M107 variant of the 155 mm shell, not the more accurate and a longer range M795 variant of the 155mm (NATO standard). Last fall the cost of modernizing production lines and expanding production initial proposals from General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOT) in Quebec and IMT Defence in Ingersoll, Ont. called for an investment of only $200 million, an amount the federal cabinet was prepared to accept and approved. Since last fall the industry now estimates have doubled to $400 million. That price tag doesn't include any actual ammunition. Recently the defence minister Bill Blair awarded 4.4 million to the two the two defense firms to support their research. The deal announced Thursday is aimed at developing production of M795 rounds. Industry had forecast two to three to be operational. There are significant supply chain issues, Blair said ' Part of the problem is the defence industry's struggles to secure a supply of the mineral antimony (a critical component in everything from armour-piercing bullets and shells to night vision goggles) outside of China.' General Dynamics will "demonstrate the capability to manufacture a combustible cartridge case," the Defence Department said, work that will take two years to compete. It's also agreed to look into automating some areas of production by the fall of 2025. In December 2022, the Defence Department announced it would allow permanent residents to apply to join the military for the first time, due to lack of members in the armed forces. Late last year, officials said the military was short around 16,500 regular and reserve force members. Its authorized strength is 101,500 troops. CBC News reported recently that 21,000 people applied but only 77 actually joined the ranks in the first year.

I blame it on decades of Russian propaganda, they use free speech against us in the West more so since the use of the internet, influencing many in the public. If this can happen in the US it can also happen in other democracies, voters be aware this can also happen to your country. The lack of education on the history of Europe is also to blame, such as Holodomor genocide in Ukraine by Stalin in the 1930's, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact which contained a secret protocol “German-Soviet Frontier Treaty” (dividing up European countries into Soviet and German) proof of this wasn't discovered until the Nuremberg trials on a German microfilm which was published in the US in 1947 (Although the Soviets denied this for decades until under Mikhail Gorbachev ordered an investigation, where he then acknowledged and denounced it in 1989). After the war the deportation , torture and killing of the civilians in the countries occupied by the Soviets, including those who fought with the allies against the Nazi Germany. Stalin killed entire families he targeted the most educated, who, when alive, acted as guarantors of culture, of national and state traditions, of knowledge and of faith. In Poland, Stalin confiscated land, property and businesses, and deported over 1.5 million Poles to slave labour camps in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the Arctic Circle. the same as he did to Ukraine during Holodomor. There was a good reasons why there was a cold war with the Soviets. During WW2 the original allies, allied with the Soviets in order to defeat the Nazis, the truth is Soviet Stalin was just as imperialistic as Nazi Hitler and Putin is the same as Stalin.
