Agreed, Canada declared support 7 days latter after Great Britain declared war to Germany, but Canada had no escort ships to cover the cargo ships and this was the first flaw
By the time nor UK or Canada realized to what threat they are up against in Atlantic.
I bow my head against RAF who actually did all that was needed to escape a land invasion of Germans by covering its air space during Battle of Britain. This was also a key factor on Hitlers decission to change the priorities of the war again.
