2 The War and Stress Wars put a lot of stress on the Canadian People Usually wars were fought by soldiers, this was the first war fought by “the world” The Canadian Impact of the War Farming Industry Profiteering The War Measures Act Victory Bonds

3 Farming The war caused food shortages all over the enemy and allied forces Most soldiers were the farmers that were providing food for the country Canadian farmers had to EXPORT a lot more items to support the people at home and those at war Wheat production increased Cheese exports at highest Port and beef exports (canned) increased significantly

4 Industry Before the war, factories in C’da produced goods for home use (LOCAL) only The war created a larger “market” or demand for products– Canadian business’ filled the demand EXPORTS of materials for use Steel for casings (guns, ammunition, planes etc)

5  Uniforms  Medical Supplies  Nickel and Copper products  Timber  Victory Stamps (as a fundraiser)  Pay cuts (government)

6 This is when business owners wanted to make the MOST profit on their products, so they didn’t sell until their price was met. Some used cheap materials and did sloppy work and sold at high prices Canned meat (the basis of their diet) was sometimes created from sick animals Bribery was used so that business owners paid off government officials so that they would use them to fund items needed for the war

7  Robert L. Borden passed a law at the beginning of WW1  People were becoming suspicious of those who had just entered Canada  The War Measures Act had the power to take away freedoms and to arrest and detain (keep locked up) “aliens”– not the E.T. kind, the new immigrants.  Ukrainians were the targeted group (came from area controlled by Austria Hungary)

8  How are we able to afford healthcare and education currently?  In the early 20 th century, there were no taxes  To help the war, the government created Victory Bonds  They could buy these, cash them in after and get interest (more money)

9  Conscription  Volunteers to become soldiers  ‘Forced’ + Borden’s broken promise ▪ French Canadians were the fiercest against conscription ▪ Borden left the decision through the people and put it to a vote (The election of 1917) ▪ Borden joined with Liberal leaders rather than Laurier (Quebec) ▪ They won election and bloody riots ensued ▪ Laurier didn’t support it at all, the people followed
