In the wake of World War One, returning soldiers had brought the Spanish flu, often known as influenza, to Canada. (The Canadian Encyclopedia) The Spanish flu had a major influence on the advancement of public health in Canada. As a result, in 1919, the federal Department of Health was established, forging a partnership between the various governmental levels and transforming public health into a shared responsibility in which the state assumed a key role.  Ultimately, the Spanish flu led to the establishment of the federal Department of Health.

The famous five disagreed with a Supreme Court of Canada decision that stated women were not "persons" in 1928. They were therefore prohibited from holding Senate positions. The statute was contested by the Famous Five. The decision was overturned in 1929. Women were consequently given legal status as "persons." Their rights could no longer be denied based on a limited interpretation of the law. (The Canadian Encyclopedia)

The influenza outbreak caused the most harm to Canada and the rest of the world during the First World War. It had killed over 50,000 people in just Canada alone. The influenza was brought over to Canada by returning soldiers in ww1. Medical staffs and facilities were all overworked, so volunteers had to set up hospitals in hotels and schools. The Spanish flu had a significant role in the development of Canada's Public Health Department. The health department was founded in 1919 due to the Spanish flu. This epidemic shows how the cause, which is the Spanish flu, resulted in the creation of the Federal Department Of Health, which was founded in 1919.

The most significant strike in Canadian history occurred in 1919 in Winnipeg. Between May 15 and June 25, 1919, almost 30,000 employees quit. The Winnipeg General Strike did not benefit workers in the short term. Due to it, there is still resentment and controversies among organized labour groups across Canada. Yet it also assisted in bridging gaps between them by bringing employees together around shared objectives. For instance, immigrants from Britain and continental Europe protested in Winnipeg alongside workers who were Canadian citizens. (Winnipeg General Strike of 1919)
