Conscription crisis
  • Ethan Willert

Conscription crisis
  • - Canada was in desperate needs after The Battle
    of Somme. (few volunteers)
  • - Recruiting in Quebec failed
  • - Conscription was made across the country
    because Prime Minister found it necessary.
  • - Conscription was made to force citizens into
    war if desperately needed.
  • - Farmers opposed this measure.
  • - Farmers sought agricultural exemptions from
    compulsory service until the end of the war.
  • -Sales went down
  • -Issued exemption certificates
  • - 6.7 percent of eligible Saskatchewan conscripts
    defaulted.
  • -9.3 percent in Ontario.
  • - 40.8 percent in Quebec.
  • -and 19.4 percent in Canada as a whole

ranking
  • The ranking I give this is -2. Some farmers
    sought attention when staying in Canada when the
    war took place. Also, Canadian farmers lost sales
    when almost all soldiers went to Europe for WWI.

Soldiers of the soil

Soldiers of the soil
  • Heavy establishment in the Canadian Expeditionary
    Forces during World War One, there was a shortage
    of labours for farm work, so the Soldiers of the
    Soil or S.O.S. were founded on October 14th 1918.
    The program actively sought out volunteer male
    youth work on Canadian farms to assist farmers in
    achieving greater wartime production of
    foodstuffs. These boys were paid from 15.00 to
    40.00 per month depending on the work that was
    performed.

11
ranking
  • 4 because no one was forced into doing the work.
  • It was positive because it was helping with
    farming food for the country and sending food to
    the soldiers over seas

Returning Veterans
  • Merry Ly

14
Returning Veterans
  • Who Soldiers who returned from the war who were
    farmers. The farmers were returning veterans.
    They left World War One when finished and came
    back to their homes and farms. When farmers were
    at the war the wife most likely had do the
    farming for them. A lot of people thought it was
    a burden during and after the war. What They
    came back to their families, home, farm, and
    their farming job after World War One was over.
    They felt like they needed to take a huge break
    when the war was over but couldnt because of
    their job position of being a farmer. A lot of
    the returning veterans that were farmers found it
    hard to return to normal life as the war was
    scaring. A lot suffered from shell shock. A lot
    of people had great fear and some troubles after
    the war.
  • When It was in year 1919 when the war was
    finally over and the soldiers that were farmers
    got to go back to their homes.

15
Returning veterans 2
  • Where The soldiers who were farmers returned to
    their homes and farms after World War One. Once
    they have came home from World War One the
    soldiers who were farmers had to immediately
    proceed to work on their farms as farmers to make
    money and to have a sustainable life. Why The
    main idea for the farmers who were returning
    veterans was that they should return to their
    civilian responsibilities which was to return
    life as farmers farming. How Once returned from
    World War One the farmers who were returning
    veterans needed to push themselves to become
    farmers farming again and made sure their steady
    with their well being. In year 1919 returned
    World War One veterans who wished to farm with
    loans to purchase land, stock and equipment was
    provided a
  • Soldiers Settlement Act. All though a lot of
    people had to close up their farms due to heavy
    debts and or poor farming conditions.

16
Primary source
  • "Terrible restlessness which possess us like an
    evil spirit the indefinite expression of a vague
    discontent the restlessness of dying men, little
    children and old soldiers.
  • March 1919, veteran George Pearson wrote this
    quote for Maclean's Magazine of what returning
    soldiers experienced.
  • This quote is important to farmers that were
    returning veterans because they had troubles
    during and after World War One and had so many
    distraught feelings and they had lived in poor
    conditions from World War One.

17
ranking
  • They need sufficiency in Canada after World War
    One.
  • I rank this a 4 because all Canadians wanted
    Canada to be a good country even after coming
    back from the war even though they were living in
    though conditions and it was attempted to be
    fixed.
  • They needed to find good ways to cope with their
    lives after World War One and Canada wasnt in
    good shape. (Wasnt in good shape of economy or
    lives.)
  • I rank this a 5 because Canada was trying to
    battle the hardships after World War One was
    over. The hardships of the returning soldiers who
    were farmers had a rough time with their health
    and or well being so it affected Canada by not
    having much food as farmers were hurt.
  • They had to plan what to do the rest of their
    lives after World War One which was to return as
    farmers.
  • I rank this a 3 because some of the returning
    farmers already have a farm and could just go
    right back to business on the farm as their jobs
    but they are still attempting to defeat
    emotional, and health conditions, heavy debts,
    poor farming conditions, and even closed farms
    that might be interfering with farming for
    Canada. This issue interrupted farmers farming in
    Canada and this made Canada have less food.

The Stock Market Crash of 1929
  • Erin Hamilton

20
description
  • October 4 1929, both Bay and Wall Street were hit
    with a wave of selling, the Toronto stock
    exchange recorded approximately 200 million in
    loses for the day. By the 23rd, the tension in
    the markets was reaching a breaking point, and
    many investors were confused and anxious about
    the future of the market. On October 24 1929, the
    day that came to be known as Black Thursday,
    the brokers panicked and began to dump sell
    orders into the market in order to protect
    themselves. The market slide began to accelerate.
    Soon stock prices began to collapse completely.
    At about 1100 am the selling reached a peak for
    about 6 min and the market broke down entirely.
    Crowds gathered outside the stock exchanges in
    Toronto, New York, Chicago, Winnipeg, and
    Montreal. All order broke down, police were
    called in and the markets kept falling. Ticker
    Tapes fell far behind and exchanges lost touch
    with each other due to the shear volume of
    activity. The bankers, brokers, and politicians
    claimed that it was a glitch and the economy was
    still sound, the Dow was down 11? at the end of
    the day. On Monday October 28 1929, Black Monday,
    more investors left the market and the slide
    continued, leaving the Dow with a 13? loss in
    value at the end of the day. The disaster of the
    stock market crash continued on to Tuesday
    October 29 1929, Black Tuesday, where the Dow
    lost an additional 12? of its value. The volume
    of the stocks traded on this day set a record
    that was not broken for nearly 40 years. The
    market had lost over 30 billion in two days,
    with 14 billion lost on Black Tuesday alone.

21
Primary source
  • This shows how big the impact of the stock
    market crash was and how many people were
    affected, the effects of the crash were felt
    world wide and sent both the Canadian and
    American economies into downward spirals
    essentially triggering the Great Depression.

    reat-crash-of-1929-some-key-dates/

22
ranking
  • The ranking the I give this event is a -4. The
    stock market crash meant that people lost their
    jobs and had little to no money, wheat prices
    were down and combined with the drought the
    farmers would be barely able to support
    themselves and their families. Many of them would
    have lost money from making investments that were
    worthless, and the banks seized many homes,
    farms, and other properties. There were work
    camps set up by the government which they might
    have travelled to, sending money back to their
    family, but it would not have been enough. Many
    probably relied on government relief which was
    rather scant, being just enough for a family to
    scrape by.

1930s drought
  • Maggie Huang

25
description
  • The previous stock market crash had sent the
    prairies into poverty and unemployment, the rate
    was constantly under 10 and then the drought of
    the 1930s came. Wheat sold for less than the
    seeds and the drought with its dust lasted over
    10 years killing the rich prairie soil. Men were
    forced to move to cities and search for new jobs
    because they did not have the income to afford
    the equipment and land. Dust storms came during
    spring and summer, when farmers were planting
    crops. The dust storms would take out the seeds
    the farmers planted and render the days work
    useless. The farmers also had an infestation of
    grasshoppers and weeds. Chickens and turkeys ate
    the grasshoppers giving the meat and eggs a foul
    taste and it was impossible to control the
    infestation. The livestock starved because there
    was nothing to feed them, and the prices went up
    from 3.5 cents to 4 cents per animal. Farm
    incomes dropped 363 million in 1928 to minus 10.7
    million in 1931 and agricultural exports fell
    from 783 million in 1928 to 253 million in 1932.
    Farmers had to improvise with many new methods
    like planting new crops like oats, rye, flax,
    peas and alfalfa that adapted to dry weather

Primary source
  • This primary source is from July 25, 1931, 2
    years after the drought started. It was taken
    along a fence between Cadillac and Kincaid. The
    soil condition has worsened since the drought
    started. This source is from the Library and
    Archives Canada.
  • This is a picture from the 1930s drought. It
    shows the damaged soil that is a result from the
    drought. It is an example of the drought many
    Canadian farmers living in the prairies
    experienced during that decade.
  • This shows a change that made life for Canadian
    prairie farmers a lot harder. These conditions
    made it hard for them to grow wheat and killed
    the previously rich prairie soil. Future crops
    would also be affected by this drought. The
    farmers planted different crops that were more
    accustomed to dry land.
  • This picture shows the hardships that the 1930s
    drought brought just two years in. Already soil
    is eroding away and during July, there are no
    crops in the fields. Some farmers even moved away
    due to these conditions.

ranking
  • -3
  • Id rank this event a -3.5. It affected prairie
    farmers negatively during that time, and
    afterwards. The drought affected ΒΌ of Canadas
    farmable land. The land eroded and farming became
    hard due to erosion. Many farms were abandoned or
    the farmers moved elsewhere. Due to this drought,
    we could be having shortages of large supplies of
    surface water and groundwater in future years,
    and in 10-30 years from now, we will have stress
    on surface water resources. However, the drought
    wasnt 100 negative, due to the drought, PFRA
    (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) was
    created to help prairie farmers deal with
    drought, provide financial support to them and
    technical assistance in building water storage.
    Infertile land was also bought off by PRFA PFRA
    also provided trees to farmers with no charge.
    Due to this drought, Irrigation projects also
    started up. So even though the drought was bad
    for land and farmers, the farmers did get a small
    benefit in the end and widened the variety of
    stuff they planted. PRFA Also started.
