Some questions to think about:

-Draw parallels between Canada and the US around the depression.  You may use examples from the movie to help.  Think government, economy, society.  

-In what ways was the Great Depression a time of progress & decline in Canadian History?  Provide specific examples with an explanation as to why. 

-Was Jim Braddock’s story during the Great Depression one of progress or decline? Why? 

-causes and consequences of depression (list of causes in notes but also p. 256) (or policies etc...)

-Why Quebec Nationalism rose (q. 1 p. 269)

-Shifting focus of political and economic ties, was this just a form of one economic dependance to another?  Defend.

-What is better to get out of a recession/depression freer trade or protective tariffs?

-Should Canada ever sign a treaty agreeing to help another country if it is attacked?

-Why did many racist and exclusionary policies persist at this time?

-What should the governments role be during a depression or recession?
