Conscription Crisis # 2
1940 Kings govt passed the National Resources Mobilization Act (NRMA) which gave them special emergency powers to mobilize all the resources of the nation to defeat the enemy 1942 King held a plebiscite (vote on an issue) asking Canadians to release his govt from their promise not to invoke conscription. 1944 Although King had tried to avoid sending conscripts overseas, 13000 were sent but only 2000 made it to the front lines. 80% of English Canada supported conscription while over 70% of French Canadians did not. This strained French-English relations again but not as badly as during WW I
Propaganda
Just like in WW I the government created posters and films to convince Canadians of the importance of the war and the evil nature of the enemy.
Japanese Internment
After Pearl Harbour, people in Canada feared that Japanese Canadians might supply Japan with secret information or even help them invade Canada Starting in 1942 all Japanese Canadians were stripped of their rights and required to carry ID cards at all times. They were given a choice to go back to Japan or to relocate away from the West coast. 22000 Japanese Canadians were sent to internment camps, 14000 of whom were born in Canada All of their possessions were sold cheaply and the money went to pay for storage and handling charges. After the war they were released from the camps. In 1988 the federal govt apologized and gave $21,000 to each survivor.
Effects of WW II on Canada
Economic The war got Canada out of the depression Shifted the nature of Canadas economy towards more industrial production and manufacturing. Political Canada gained an international reputation as a middle power. Our troops were recognized for their contributions. Social Blacks and aboriginal peoples contributed to the war and hence progressed in status. Women achieved greater recognition. Canada became more tolerant (less racist) and accepted more refugees. Canada experienced a baby boom and lots of new immigrants (including war brides) from Europe.

WW II Posters
Look carefully at the following posters from WW II
1. 2.
Describe the main purposes of the posters (point form is ok) Do you think they qualify as propaganda? Why or why not? Definition: Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. The most effective propaganda is often completely truthful, but some propaganda presents facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented.
