A Canadian carrier could reinforce NATO while Britain sailed south

In a surviving Canadian-carrier counterfactual, the most useful contribution during the Falklands War might be covering Britain's NATO role near Norway rather than joining the South Atlantic task force.

Question

If the Royal Canadian Navy had retained carriers into the 1980s, what would its task group do during the Falklands War?

Short answer

It would more likely cover Britain's NATO role near Norway than sail to the Falklands itself.

Notes

Canada would probably not send its carrier directly to the Falklands in this counterfactual. A Canadian group off Norway or elsewhere in the North Atlantic could cover part of Britain's NATO role while the Royal Navy concentrated ships in the South Atlantic. This would reinforce the alliance indirectly. One navy could free another for a distant crisis without operating in the same theatre.
