Building an interwar Canadian cruiser-and-destroyer fleet

Could Canada build two destroyer flotillas and eight County-class cruisers in the interwar years, and how would the United States react?

Partly: Canada could build many destroyers and later cruisers after British-supported yard development, while the United States would see the force mainly as defensive and politically useful for its own naval budgets.

The United States would likely view Canadian flotillas as local defense within the wider British naval system, using them mainly as an argument for its own appropriations rather than as an immediate threat. Canada could build most of two destroyer flotillas domestically after yard investment, while at least some County-class cruisers would initially be ordered from Britain. Continuing sloop or similar production would then be needed to retain the workforce and facilities between major orders.
