3. During the war…
Canada experienced economic gain and more freedom for women.
Many people had suffered the losses of their husbands, fathers, friends, and relatives. People had all wished to turn back time and forget about the war.

6. Not enough Food or Clothing…
There was not enough food in Canada during World War 2 because all of the food was being sent out to the soldiers in the war, overseas.
Women had to make woolen clothing for the men at war because the war was going on and they could not get enough supplies.

7. Factories
Women worked in factories instead of men because most of the men were at war.
They also had to ration food and clothing because they had to ship supplies to the men and women in the war.

8. Government
The government was involved in many new issues such as evacuation, home defense and responses to occupation by enemy powers.
