The decade preceding World War II remains deeply etched in our
collective memory as an era of social and economic hardships; those
"hard times" will prove to be a breeding ground of extremist
movements. Throughout Canada’s huge territory, eleven million
people through the press and radio witness the political events
that are destabilizing Europe.
Unemployment and hunger prey on everybody’s mind; memories
of the military feats from the Great War fade away as the Depression
settles in. Most Canadians want peace but they cannot remain indifferent
as dictatorships spread their shadow over Europe. United, Canadians
will once again rise to defend democracy and freedom and help allied
countries fight Nazi aggression.
