1933 - Unemployment from the Great Depression hits 27%.

In 1933, the Great Depression had a devastating effect on Canada’s economy, with unemployment rising to 27%.

During this time, many Canadians were forced to rely on government-funded relief programs in order to survive.

The economic downturn of the 1930s caused a sharp decline in international trade, leading to widespread job losses.

Many businesses went bankrupt and banks began to fail, leading to further economic hardship.

In response to the economic crisis, the government introduced a number of measures to help stimulate the economy, such as the Canadian Emergency Relief Act and the Canadian Home Bank Act.

In 1935, the Canadian government launched a program to provide relief payments to unemployed citizens, as well as providing training and education opportunities.

The government also implemented a number of public works projects which provided jobs for those in need.
