Canada and the post war years- the roaring 20’s? 1918- 1929

Canada’s Changing Economy 1918- 1920- Depression- why do you think? Wheat and natural resources from Canada were in demand (mining in particular- why?) Consumer Goods- what types of goods were in demand? More forestry mining meant a demand for electricity- several new hydro generating stations constructed

New Products in the Roaring 20’s

The USA Pre 1914 Canada’s biggest trade partner was Britain- however after 1918 Britain was in debt The USA became the world’s economic leader- American investment in Canada American companies took control of much of the natural resource harvesting- exported to the USA to be manufactured- sold back to Canada

Evidence Canadian exports 1901- 1931 (in millions) 1901 101 68 26 1911 Year Canadian Exports to Britain Canadian Exports to the USA Canadian Exports to other countries 1901 101 68 26 1911 149 104 37 1921 403 542 265 1931 220 240 140

Alcohol and Prohibition Canada exported huge amounts of alcohol to the USA (illegally) Prohibition arrived in Canada during WW1, thanks to the Women’s Christian Temperance Movement Doctor’s- Tonic, Bootleggers- Hooch After 1921 Alcohol was regulated (same as today) In the USA it lasted until 1933- the creation of organized crime Alcohol made in Canada- smuggled into the USA- Run Runners

Roaring Twenties The Great Gatsby Increased Mobility- Cars, “Bush Planes” Improved communications- telephone, radio (what did they listen to?) New inventions- Snowmobile, snow plow, home appliances, insulin (Frederick Banting) New “entertainment culture”- moving pictures, Hollywood

Sports Thirst for entertainment naturally led to increased interest in sports Hockey- across Canada (radio)- 1923 first national broadcast- Foster Hewitt Canadian’s were world renown athletes- Lionel Conacher, “Bobbie” Rosenfeld (gold in 100 m 1928 Olympics)

So it was Roaring right? Let’s take a look at whether the 1920’s can be referred to as “Roaring” or just “Roaring” for some…
