Canada may receive a capital ship, but not build battlecruisers

Canada is unlikely to build its own battlecruiser class, though imperial redistribution could still place a capital ship in Canadian service.

Question

Could Canada build battlecruisers using older British guns?

Short answer

Probably not as a domestic class, but Canada could still end up operating a capital ship.

Notes

The distinction is between domestic construction and participation in an empire-wide fleet system. Britain can transfer or assign an older capital ship without requiring Canada to fund and sustain a full independent battlecruiser program.
