Would Canadian battleships have led to carriers?

If Canada had acquired battleships before the First World War, would it likely have acquired carriers before the Second?

Probably: early-1920s Royal Navy thinking treated carrier reconnaissance as essential to an effective battleship squadron.

A Canadian battleship force before the First World War would probably have led to a carrier. By the early 1920s, the Royal Navy increasingly regarded a battleship squadron without carrier reconnaissance as a poor proposition. Carriers were becoming essential for finding the enemy and informing the battle fleet. In this counterfactual, Canada would inherit the reconnaissance problem that made a carrier part of a credible battleship force.
