After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Canada supplied the Soviets ( UK signed the original protocol for Canada to supply the Soviets) beginning in Oct 1941 and the US supplied the Soviets thru the Lend-Lease assistance. Canadian supplies dispatched to Russia included 1,388 Valentine tanks (made in Angus Works in Quebec) initially were being made for the UK; 1,348 weapons carriers Canadian made in Oshawa (CMP) trucks modified to operate under -40F including the lorry a 3 ton 4x4; six pounder anti-tank portee, designed to carry a wheeled gun that can be fired from the vehicle or on the ground; 10 “Lake” class mine sweepers; 1,051 Hurricane aircraft fighters orginally produced for the UK and 29 radar sets. Plus 37,286 tons of aluminum, 10,000 tons of cordite, 27,000 tons of copper. Non war materials included 882,482 tons of steel rails, 1,562 flatcar units, three complete plants of machine tools, 500 lathes, shapers and planers plus three copies of unique Canadian armoured snowmobiles.

Agricultural aid of 9 million bushels of wheat to eighty tons of brome grass seed, which continued after the war in Europe ended to September 1945 of 28,000 tons of flour. The transportation of these goods was provided by Canada.

@gerrelldrawhorn8975 The aircraft both from the US and Canada was flown in via the Alaska-Siberia route and thru airports in western Canada, which is why the US established an airport in Edmonton Alberta Canada. The rest was shipped by sea to the Soviet., Which is why Canada gave the gave the ice breaker Montcalm for shipping to the ports of Murmansk and Archangel. The shipping of the supplies and weapons from Canada was done by Canada but I'm unaware if that included the supplies and weapons from the US but it was done up the West Coast of Canada. Interestingly off of Vancouver Island in BC Canada, Japanese subs fired on two ships ,sinking one ( one was a container ship transporting newsprint the other was transporting logs to a mill which is why it didn't sink. A Japanese sub also fired on a lighthouse on Vancouver Island (which was used for listening on the enemies). The Allies discovered a Japanese camp on the Aleutian Islands on the Alaska Peninsula. My uncle was one of the men that landed on one of the islands he said the left abruptly, as they left behind supplies down to coffee or tea still in the metal mugs and rifles.
