Q: In what ways was it similar to and/or different from the role it had played in earlier years?
A: During WWII, Canada had less of an economic tie to Britain, and needed US capital and materials to pursue their war effort. The Hyde Park agreement was made in 1941 between the two nations, and allowed for both the US and Canada to produce their own materials and goods (that they were able to) and the US produced their specialties. The two countries then bought the goods from each other, and both were able to supply the war effort, just as we traded the cars.
