This event for workers was a major change from before. WW1 saw many people getting new jobs and finding much success finantally. This major change saw the loss of thousands of jobs, and made it difficult to support canadians. After the war saw many jobs and a great economy, it all came down in 1929 and it made many wokrers outraged.

Women's Lives in The Great Depression
Before the Great Depression many canadian women were thriving in the workplace and gaining more and more rights because of it. WW1 was a great advancement for women but The Great Depression changed alot of that in 1929 and it seemed like the progress that was made wasn't going anywhere.

The rich soil that was once there created huge dust storms that made visibility low. This was a huge change for canadian farmers and made the progress that was made during WW1 come to a sreaching halt.
