Effects of the Great Depression April 14, 2015 CHC2P Effects of the Great Depression Hard Times for Canadians

Learning Goals By the end of today’s lesson, students will be able to… describe the effects of the Great Depression on various regions in Canada assess the governments response to the Great Depression

Minds-on Question: If times were so tough during the Great Depression, why did parents keep having so many kids??? Your thoughts? Kids were sources of labour and often would work on the farm rather than go to school Big families were the norm But there is another reason… At this time it was illegal to advertise birth control measures. If caught, you could be imprisoned for up to 2 years!!!

Introduction After the Stock Market Crash of 1929, Canadians were forever changed People stopped trusting…banks, employers, the gov’t Plus a number of other factors combined to make things even worse…

Workers in the Cities Many Canadians had prospered in the cities during the 1920’s Some managed to keep their jobs in the 30’s – but most had to take pay cuts Most were expected to produce more, while making less $$$ As production slowed, layoffs increased

Farmers in the West Farmers were hit hard during the GD The price of wheat dropped The region of the Prairies known as the Palliser Triangle was hit the worst Nearly 14,000 farms were abandoned (see graphic) Plus a number of other factors…

Primary Source Analysis What conclusions can we make by examining this map? Think about: what do the arrows represent? is there a trend that you notice? how does it relate to what we are studying?

The Dust Bowl Many Prairie farmers faced natural disasters Drought in 1929 – lasting nearly 10 years! Infestations of insects that ate crops (grasshoppers) Soil had been over-farmed…no nutrients left Prairies became known as the ‘Dust Bowl’ as the soil dried up

Decline in Average Annual Incomes Who was hit hardest? Decline in Average Annual Incomes Province 1928-29 1933 Alberta $548 $212 B.C. $594 $314 Manitoba $466 $240 New Brunswick $292 $180 Nova Scotia $322 $207 Ontario $549 $310 PEI $278 $154 Quebec $391 $220 Saskatchewan $478 $135 What conclusions can you make? Did anyone notice there is a province missing?

Governing Canada Challenges of the 1930’s

Changing Attitudes Towards our Government The 1930’s were the worst 10 years in Canadian history!!! Government officials had to change their policies – or be voted out! People demanded social programs like welfare and medical care

Canada’s Prime Ministers Mackenzie King, Liberal R.B. Bennett, Conservative Prime Minister most of the 1920’s till 1935 Believed Stock Market Crash not a big deal Did little to help rising unemployment Lost election of 1935 Defeated King in 1935 election Promised to find work for all Canadians Had no plan for dealing with Depression though Gave money in form of ‘relief’ to the provinces
