Why Canada is a plausible carrier question

Canada's geography and northern logistics make it one of the few non-carrier navies for which a carrier case can be discussed seriously.

Question

Which country without carriers most needs them?

Short answer

Canada, with Australia as another plausible case, because of geography, reach, northern requirements, and logistics.

Notes

After excluding states that already operate carriers or are actively acquiring them, Canada is the leading case, with Australia another possibility. Reach, northern exposure, and logistics create the rationale. Only a small number of countries can both justify and build carriers.
