How did WW1 Affect Canada Economically: In the early years of the war, Canada’s economic situation was bleak. In 1914, wheat yields plunged because of a severe drought. In 1914 and 1915, more than 50,000 people lost their jobs as the railway sector floundered under massive amounts of debt.

Not since the Riel Rebellion of 1885 had Canada seen an armed standoff of the size and scope that occurred between Indians and the military in the small town of Oka, Quebec, between May and September of 1990. The lead-up, the crisis, and the aftermath are all documented in Harry Swain’s account of the crisis in “Oka – A Political Crisis and It’s Legacy” - a self-proclaimed subjective account of the 78 day standoff between Mohawk Indians and, progressively, the Town of Oka, the Sûreté du Québec, and finally the Canadian military.
