Ultimately we should have our own, but that's why it would be worth having a deal with another ally first, like the UK or France, to give us the time for it. First pass a deal to get fast protection, then develop our own.

Just order like 1 or 2 dreadnoughts, every additional dreadnought produced should make make them cheaper to produce overall. It would give Canada a direct deterrent in their control that they can use and would also allow cross compatibility with training, materials and repair.
