Canada After the War

The Soldiers Return Home From War

 More than soldiers returned home from the war with injuries and disabilities.

 Ex-soldiers unable to work lived off government pensions  Others went to school or into trades

 Many received free land and money to start farms through what was called the Soldier Settlement Act

 Many Aboriginal veterans were excluded from these government programs.

 When ex-soldiers returned from war many could not find steady work  Women and technology advances had filled the positions

 There were so many soldiers that came home and there weren’t enough jobs for all of them  The economy was not able to absorb the tens of thousands of returning soldiers into the workforce

Economic Slowdown

 The war had created a manufacturing boom and developed an industry geared towards mass production of war materials.  When the war came to an end the country suffered an economic slump

 Industries that produced weapons for war were shut down temporarily as they switched to peacetime production  Many people were temporarily thrown out of work

 Countries in Europe began to grow their own wheat and as a result Canadian farmers lost many of their overseas markets

 During the war, the government put price restrictions on manufactured goods to keep prices down.  After the war, the government removed these restrictions and prices rose

 High prices for goods continued while wage increases stayed low  A feeling of unhappiness and poverty began to grow in the people

 Many soldiers believed that they were owed more than the government was giving and as a result bad feelings began to develop  Labor and union movements began to form and a new social outlook began to develop (i.e. Winnipeg General Strike)
