CANADA DURING & AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR

SOCIAL EFFECTS Government restricts unions, but labour shortage allowed unions to demand many rights. C.D. Howe (Minister of Munitions and Supply) lost battle with unions. Government involvement in people’s lives increases – CCF party helps bring about social reform. Growth of left wing parties encouraged social changes such as: unemployment insurance, social assistance, and family allowance.

SOCIAL EFFECTS Women achieved greater recognition for their contributions to the war effort. Canada became more tolerant by accepting refugees from Europe. A “baby boom” and a significant wave of immigration occurred. 42,000 people lost to the war.

CONSCRIPTION AS A SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUE Mackenzie King promises no conscription at the beginning of WWII. As the war progressed the need appears great, and many Canadians support the idea. National Mobilization Act – gives gov’t special powers (like the War Measures Act). Conscription allowed only for home defence. Plebiscite held in April 1942; majority voted yes except in Quebec.

CONSCRIPTION AS A SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUE King reluctantly allows conscription stating “Not necessarily conscription, but conscription if necessary”. Most conscripts were not sent overseas until Quebec Provincial gov’t passed a law condemning the Fed gov’ts decision. This help to fuel poor relations between Quebec and Fed Gov’t. Only 2463 conscripts ever reached the front.

POLITICAL EFFECTS Gained an international reputation and established itself as a middle power. Canada had a role in the creation of the UN Troops recognized for: Hong Kong, Dieppe, Normandy, Italy, Liberation of Holland. King averted a conscription crisis and managed to maintain strained English-French relations. Government began to intervene more and strengthened the social safety net. Contributions of black and aboriginal peoples advanced the cause of civil rights.

ECONOMIC EFFECTS Inflation – “too many dollars were chasing to few goods”. Victory bonds (James Ilsley – Minister of Finance) Wartime Prices and Trade Board (1941) – froze wages. Food rationing. Economy boomed after the war. Industry and manufacturing grew to overtake agriculture as the most important economic sector.

THE END OF WORLD WAR II Canada’s contribution to the war was enormous: Human lives(45,000) Billions of dollars Canada received a new role on the world stage Canada had built the world’s third largest navy and fourth largest air force. The war stimulated Canada’s economy and helped to bring it out of the depression of the thirties. Although many Canadians were killed, wounded, or captured, WWII became a defining point in the development of Canada’s identity.

FINAL THOUGHTS Is Conscription ever justified? What are the pros and cons of conscription? Is war ever justified? Can war be justified whatever the method used?
