How Did the Government Respond to the Great Depression? PG 52-54 From “Government Responses to the Depression” up to “On-To-Ottawa Trek” (Evidence 3.12-3.15) “During Reading” Questions 1&2 Evidence 3.13 Question Evidence 3.15 Question

How Did the Government Respond to the Great Depression? Municipal relief → Provincial Relief → Federal Relief Liberals and King: in 1930 think the economy would soon correct itself – no major issue → key is to stimulate economy (“no direct financial assistance, that was King’s point”) Conservatives & Bennett: in 1930 saying that the unemployed need more monetary relief – once Bennett is PM, wants to increase trade tariffs Relief Camps (Bennett) → sort of a hybrid of the 1930s campaign ideas – Liberal idea to stimulate the economy with employment, and Conservative idea to help the needy monetarily

The “On-To-Ottawa Trek” 1935 Relief camp men grew tired of conditions and began protesting Led by the Communist Relief Camp Workers Union they prepared a list of demands and climb on top of a train to Ottawa to try and talk to Prime Minister Bennett

The “On-To-Ottawa Trek” 1935 They are stopped in Regina, Saskatchewan by the government and only a few are allowed to go on to Ottawa Bennett called their leader a “revolutionary criminal” and the trekkers returned to Regina empty handed…and angry… Arthur “Slim” Evans leader of the On-To-Ottawa Trek

The Regina Riot, July 1st 1935 The trekkers meet in the market square where the RCMP surround them waiting to make arrests When the officers begin closing in on the workers, a riot begins An officer is killed and many others injured or arrested

Bennett & The Government Who is to blame for the Regina Riot? Trekkers vs Bennett & The Government Who is to blame for the Regina Riot? Use the scrapbooks (Pg. ) to support “your side” with your group. Be prepared to debate about who was right, who was wrong and why. Be convincing.
