When the Americans were hit by the great depression, this effected Canada. Canada's most important trade partner was the United States, Canada was hit the second hardest. Canada's Prime minister, Mackenzie King, believed that the government did not have a role to play during the great depression. Although the government believed that they had no part of the depression, they still helped out by creating camps which feed the unfortunate.
Do you think that Canadians could've prevented getting hit so hard? Maybe if we had stronger trade relationships with other countries we would've been able to keep our industries going.
ReplyDeleteAlso, i think that King was wrong in thinking that the government had no role to play during the Depression.
