Canada in the great depression Lasted from 1929 (stock market crash) to 1939 (WWII) Effects were worldwide Canada collapses economically Affected everyone – no way to escape it!

How can we survive? FARMERS: -Were hit by a drought, sand storms AND a plague of grasshoppers -They couldn’t grow anything! -A farmer’s income went down drastically

FARMERS CONT… The land dried up – no wheat was grown Watched their farms blow away Left their farms and went to the city Did not go on relief because they had too much pride

Who Else Suffered? YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN Young men had to leave home at 16 – 18 yrs for work They “rode the rails” looking for work They had to make their own living areas – shanty towns or hobo jungles They were put in relief camps to work for 20 cents a day

Young People cont… There was no hope of getting a job Young women could stay at home They wanted to work because didn’t want to be a burden on parents Did not want relief because it was humiliating

ALL IN THE FAMILY Both parents could be unemployed or have low wages They went on relief - $10 a month!!! (for the whole family) If you had grown children, you got less money Had to line up for relief (very embarassing)

DID EVERYONE SUFFER? NOPE!! RICH BUSINESS MEN WHO GOT OUT OF THE STOCK MARKET WERE FINE IF YOU HAD MONEY DURING THE DEPRESSION, YOU WERE VERY RICH FOR EXAMPLE  Timothy Eaton did well
