The war gave a rising occasion for Canada in international trade. Canada partnered with Britian by supplying them with military supplies and loans, and with Israel, so it could keep the trust of immigration of Jews into Canada. However, the fluctuation in the Canadian economy was closely related to the United States.

Israel
Many Jews mustered courage during World War 1 and formed a congress party to fight against the Nazi’s Anti-Semitism laws, leading to protest and riots all over Europe. Due to these conflicts, Hitler rose in power and thousands of Eastern European Jews sought refuge in Canada, but unfortunately they were denied entry. Canada also imprisoned some Jews, and many were sent back. Immigration was denied by Canadian government due to the Depression, but many British and American folks could enter Canada as they had the money to support themselves. During the Depression, the Canadian media was heavily covered with Anti-Semitism. Moreover, Canada entered World War II on September 10, 1939 and some Canadian Jews enlisted in the army, navy and air force. When the war was over, many lost their lives, others were given military awards and shown great respect for their bravery.
After the war, the Canadian government instituted anti-discrimination laws and eased immigration regulations. The Canadian Jewish Congress worked to bring expatriates to Canada, and between 1941 and 1951, 16,275 Jews immigrated into the country. In the postwar time period, immigration had a major impact on the composition of the Canadian Jewish population.
As higher percentage of the Canadian Jewish population increased due to the immigration, the government had to move these refugees to Quebec and Ontario. Since then, the rise of Jewish community expanded and nearly 46000 – 65000 Jews came to Canada. International trade relations between the two countries (Canada and Israel) quickly developed, and this made it possible for Canada to export cultivated products and raw materials to Israel, which in turn, imported textiles, diamonds, clothing, and food products to Canada. As a result, Canada has been protecting Israel with medical supplies and military forces.

United States
The new Liberal government Lester B. Pearson (1963-1968) launched many decisions for the benefit of Canada’s politics, but was hampered when his finance minister, Walter Gordon, did not accept proposals from the United States to reduce U.S. investments in Canada. It was a very displeasing five years for Lester B. Pearson as there were many mistakes and scandals during decision making process. He did not attain a majority government but was named for his strong five years of productivity in the Canadian history. Under his reign, Canada gained a national flag, the Canada Pension Plan (national security system), health insurance programs, and public servants earned the right to free communal bargaining. Lester B. Pearson retired in late 1967 since there was an increase in nationalism and separatism in Quebec.
Various individuals agreed with Saint Laurent’s minister of trade and commerce while Clarence Decatur Howe, debated that growing U.S. investments were beneficial for Canada. However, some Canadians were uncomfortable with increased evolution of U.S. control over Canadian businesses and the bonds between American enterprises.
Canada’s adaptation in direction from Britain to the United States was slowly progressing inch by inch. This adaptation led Canada to grow in education, culture and national independence. Canada also exported more goods and services to Britain and imported more items from the U.S. In early 1948, P.M. Mackenzie King pulled back on closing a free trade settlement with the Americans, however Britain’s mounting economic, political, and military feebleness and the growth of the United States into a superpower position, led King to bond closer with the United States. In the end, many Canadian leaders were under the influence of America’s economy, policies and military.
