In the 1930s, British leaders pursued appeasement because they wanted to avoid a second world war.
"Today, appeasement is usually regarded as a failure"

@stephanie Appeasement was undertaken to buy time to rearm.
Due to the memory of the Great War, no prospect of war was popular, but Chamberlain came back from that conference, gave the "peace in our time" speech, and then convened a cabinet meeting where the agenda approximated "there's going to be a war, we have to get ready".
The getting ready part was a notable success.
Canada is not the British Empire and has many fewer options by itself, so the process is necessarily slower.
