- There are some basic economic principles such as supply and demand. Some factors for this depression is overproduction in the 1920s in which different industries in Canada expanded as demands were high. However, when the economy slowed down many companies faced overproduction. Another factor for this depression was Canada's economic dependence on exports. Some exports are 80% primary sources, too much wheat 40%and prairies and newsprint 65%
- Canada went more independent during this but the government was definitely seeking help for the depression. The depression affected the entire country. One of the examples is Drought on the Prairies in which the wheat fields were hit by a drought that lasted 8 years. Millions of hectares of fertile soil blew away and there were constant dust storms which resulted in dust shifting everywhere.
- Grasshoppers also descended on the prairies and they stalled trains, clogged car radiators, and wiped out any crops. The government responded towards the depression by having the unemployment relief act and put 20 million dollars for work creation programs. They also used tariffs to blast away in world markets which they raised by 50% to protect Canadian industries. However It did more harm than good because other nations in turn sent up trade barriers against Canada
