During the war Canada used this to get more people to enroll in the army. They started to put posters up to try and help promote enlistment and other sources of support for the army like donations. Women would also shame men who were in the country and not wearing a military uniform. They did this by pining white feathers on their clothing. By doing this they pushed men to go to war.

As soon as the government found out they would need to make weapons for the war they requisitioned close to 540 industrial facilities across the country (Paquet). By the end of the summer the goal was to have companies producing 40 000 - 50 000 shells per day. A lot of factories met this expectation]]> 2021-08-30 17:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1704993784 War Measurements Act Aug 1914 - Jan 1920 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1704996750 The War Measurements Act was put in place to give the government authority during wartime to arrest, detain and deport people without charges or trials. It also gave them the power to censor and suppress communication. They did this to help control transportation, trade, and manufacturing. This act was used to ban 253 publications, including 222 American, 164 foreign language, and 89 leftist publications (Smith). Some people were also interned for their political beliefs.]]> 2021-08-30 17:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1704996750 Enemy Aliens & Censorship 1914-1920 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705004977 Enemy aliens was a term to describe citizens from countries legally at war with Canada residing in Canada during World War I. Canada put the Enemy aliens in internment camps. The government took these internees and employed them in big projects, such as logging and mining operations. Canada interned  8,579 enemy aliens in 24 different receiving stations (The Internment of Ukrainian Canadians). They classified 3,138 as prisoners of war (The Internment of Ukrainian Canadians).]]> 2021-08-30 17:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705004977 Conscription 1917 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705021050 Conscription is when the government makes it mandatory for certain people to enlist in a national service most likely the military. When the war first started the government asked for volunteers and for the first 2 years that was working. When they didn't have enough people for the army they made it mandatory for all male citizens from the age of 20-45 to enlist.]]> 2021-08-30 17:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705021050 Division in provinces (Quebec and English speaking Canada) 1917 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705025780 When the war first started there were many people eager to sign up, a year later they were having a hard time finding volunteers to send overseas. When the Military Service Act became a law many French Canadians were not happy. The French Canadians were mostly the ones refusing to go when they were called, causing many problems.  There were many riots involving these people, for example at the end of March 1918 a mob destroyed the Military registry offices in Quebec city.]]> 2021-08-30 17:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705025780 Suffrage 1918 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705034640 Women's suffrage was the grant of women's voting rights in political elections. Many people saw this as a reward to Canadian women for all their help in the war. Women’s suffrage groups existed from the 1870s but it was hard to ignore them with all the work and effort they put into the country while the soldiers were away. The federal government gave them the right to vote on May 24th 1918.

The Spanish flu came to Canada with troops returning from war and made its way across the entire country. Quebec, Labrador and first nations reserves were hit hard. It left many kids without parents and many families without their main provider. Businesses also got hit very hard because of lack of demand or having to close for a while.]]> 2021-08-30 17:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1705065737 Getting Donations and Women Helping For the War 1914-1918 340846880 https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1710489403 A big thing for the war the women contributed to was trying to get donations from people. Many women contributed to the war effort, when the men left lots of jobs became vacant and the women filled them. Women became involved in business agriculture and even started to work in factories. Another thing they helped with was the Canadian Patriotic Fund (CPF) that was created to reassure married soldiers leaving their families that they would be taken care of while they were gone.

The Canada temperance act of 1878 gave local governments the choice to ban the sale of alcohol. PEI was the first place to use this law in 1901. The rest of the country followed during the First World War. During this time Liquor could be produced and exported from Canada but not sold. Most of the provinces repealed this law in 1920]]> 2021-09-01 17:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/340846880/1wt12b6cv68h87qp/wish/1710498863
