 1935: Canadians angry with the government over the economy (PM. Bennett)  The Depression was dragging  Conditions not getting any better  The next election was coming up so Bennett came up with some radical reforms.

Bennett wanted to establish:  Unemployment  Social Insurance  Set minimum wages  Limit hours of work  Guarantee the fair treatment of employees  Control prices so that business could not make unfair profit

 U.S.A President Roosevelt made a similar program. (This is where he got the idea!)  People were startled by the new deal  Just a plot to get more votes  Bennett lost the election and Mackenzie King became Prime Minister once again

 People were fed up and frustrated with lack of leadership.  Protests began to happen all over the country  They wanted dramatic action to deal with the problems of the Depression  New Political Parties and leaders began to form to take on the challenge.

 Which political party would you have voted for if you were a Canadian in 1935?
