Depression And Unemployment In Canada
As the depression carries on, the government can't give it a second look. Although unemployment is a national problem, the federal government, led by Conservative Prime Minister R.B. Bennett and his Liberal predecessor and successor W.L. Mackenzie King, refuse, for the most part, to provide work for the jobless and insist that care is primarily a local and provincial responsibility. King, our prime minister, is reluctant to even acknowledge that an economic crisis has struck Canada – a stance that will likely end with his defeat.
Local governments refused to aid single, homeless men, so they have established unemployment relief camps. These camps will be run by the Department of Defense, these men will make 20 cents a day for construction
work in the bush. There have been many complaints of the camps so far, but luckily, there has been no riots or violence of that sort.
“The government, and politicians refuse to do anything for us men who don't support a family. We need to survive too!” Says Jake Owen, a single man living in London.
The government, and politicians fighting to become Canada’s prime minister need to take a step forward and provided aid to those who need it.
