Answer 1

According to my mother, many people did not have enough to eat and kids did not have toys. Basically, with a few exceptions, everybody (at least where my mother lived) was broke.

Answer 2

See if your library has some of these:


James Eayrs. 1965. In Defence of Canada: From the Great War to the Great Depression. University of Toronto Press.

Michiel Horn. 1984. The Great Depression of the 1930s in Canada. Canadian Historical Association.

Victor Howard. 1969. The Great Depression: Essays and Memoirs from Canada and the United States. Copp Clark.

If you run across James Pennington Macpherson's The Life of the Right Honorable Sir John A. Macdonald, the "Great Depression in Canada" (page 197) was a still older financial crisis of the 19th century, because the book was written in 1891.

Answer 3

well the stock market scrahed and everybody was straped for cash, that includes businesses, making crappy stuff. so the people had to pay money for badly made items and then they broke, so they had to buy more,
