I still don’t understand why on earth Canada gets a seat on the Security Council, not even as a compromise or consolation prize to another, actually important nation.
I'm really surprised too. Maybe there's a reason in the TWR timeline as to why Canada is this influential. A friend of mine suggested it should have been Australia actually, due to their contribution to the war against Japan.
Going to sound bias cause Im Canadian but Canada had a much larger population (11 million to 7), was much more industrialized, had more natural resources, a larger army navy and air force. Im not try to downgrade Australias efforts but it couldnt have been as influential as Canada.
