    How Did Canada Response Ineffective

    When the great depression started in late 1929, Canadians responded ineffectively to the challenges of the Great Depression. The Canadian government and individual Canadians did not respond effectively compared to the New Political Parties whom responded very effectively. The government responded ineffectively as they were unable to help individuals. Instead, they were deciding on which level of government would be responsible to provide relief for its citizens. For example, Prime Minister R.R Bennett was against spending money on relief programs for the unemployed, stating that the provincial and municipal governments were responsible.…

    Did the Canadian Government Do Enough During the Great Depression?

    After World War I ended in 1919, Canada had a small recession during the World war, but after the war, Canada had the fastest growing economy in the world. The 1920s had been a successful period of growth for Canada, with living standards improving remarkably. Then suddenly, in the late 1920s the economy took a sharp turn for the worse. The depression originated in the US, directly caused by the spark of the stock market crash on October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday, but quickly spread to almost every country in the world due to globalization. Canada was then in depression from 1929 until 1939 when World War II started.…

    Canada's Independence During the 1920's- Better or Worse?

    Did Canada become more or less independent during the 1920’s? Carmen Wilson Canada went through many exciting and revolutionary changes during the 1920s. Treaties were signed, trades were made and ties were broken and created. Although Canada became more independent from Britain by separating from them, they became even less independent during the 1920’s because of their economics and entertainment. During the 1920’s several historically important events occurred that resulted in Canada cutting ties from Britain. In 1922, the Chanack Affair took place. Britain had a disagreement with Turkey. Britain asked Canada for military support if needed to which King, the current Prime Minister, said no. He decided this because he felt Canadians didn’t want to go back into foreign conflicts right after the great war. This made Canada less tied from Britain we said no to Britain for the first time and that Canada would create its own foreign policy instead of listening to their mother country. The next liberating event was the Halibut Treaty in 1923. King urged that only representatives from Canada and the US should sign the treaty, leaving Britain out of it. Britain later agreed and Canada won the right to sign treaties with a foreign country on its own. Third, in 1926, was the King-Byng Crisis. After a conflict between the Prime Minister and the Governor General, King was determined to, at the next Imperial Conference, clarify the role of the Governor General. After that, the Governor General never interfered again. Next was the Balfour Report in 1926 where Canada and other dominions were declared self-governing and independent nations. Also, the role of the Governor General became only a ceremonial one. By 1931, the Statue of Westminster made the Balfour report official. Canada was no bound by no other law then its own and now had complete autonomy. The economics of Canada shifted greatly after WWII. They almost completely stopped trading with Britain and replaced them…

On July 1st 1867 the Queen of England signed the proclamation, which gave Canada a federal domain and defines much of the operations of the government of Canada, many of which are still being used to date.
