Some reports say that Canada, specifically the prairie provinces, were hardest hit during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Whether you agree with this or not is not the question... the question is why would people say this?
Canada's prairie provinces were hit the hardest during the Great Depression due to the main reason that their main source of income revolved around agriculture. Canada's prairie provinces main source of trade, income and employment would have come from the farm and ranch land within our area. With the huge drought, it made farming virtually impossible and extremely expensive to do so not only could farmers not farm, the country itself couldn't trade, any employees or ranch hands were let go and the communities in those areas as well as the country itself was not able to eat and provide the way it had prior years.

The prairie provinces were largely an agricultural society before and during the dirty thirties. Many people were farmers or had jobs that relied heavily on the agricultural industry. As a result of the drought agriculture was heavily reduced, people in the west lost an important source of income, and the production of goods and services virtually stopped. For these reasons the prairies suffered a particularly horrible hardship during this time, perhaps even the hardest of anyone.
The prairie provinces in Canada are and were an agricultural society. Many people farmed and used their farm to feed themselves and gain an income. The drought in the 1930's meant that farming became increasingly difficult. The drought caused crops to fail and cattle to starve so income for farmers and also other businesses was reduced or non existent. People become unemployed during this time because businesses went under or could not afford employees. this left many people poor and hopeless. -EmK
the great depresh was really wack on the farm foke, because of all the drought which kinda sucked because you need water for crops. So businesses kinda went down. not zen times. -nathan.s
People would say this statement because at the time of the Great Depression, one of the main sources of income (and, frankly, one of the most important means of food-sources) was agriculture. The prairie provinces had its income based on the farmers and agriculture, so when the agriculture suffered, so did the provinces. Since majority of the farms were closed down or foreclosed, the depression only grew more and more with every farm that was closed down.
People would say this because prairie was a agricultural society, which when you can't farm, you will not get any income, and when you don't get any income, the economy falls. The drought during the 1930's impacted harshly on the farmers. It was hard to get any trades going, which Canada depended a lot on trading of the harvested goods. This couldn't be done when you have a drought. This also meant that you could not feed your own family when you can't even provide for the country, which meant that a lot of people starved to death during these times. This made the thirties a hard situation for everyone. This is why people would say that Prairies had one of the hardest times during the Great Depression. Amy Kim
People say that the prairie provinces were hit the hardest during the great depression because their main source of income is through agriculture and there was a severe drought at the time. Most people in the prairies owned farms or worked on other's farms. The drought made it so that it was very difficult to successfully grow things. The lack of product made it so that farmers' could not make money which meant that they could not afford workers. Besides the lack of jobs there was also the problem of not having food. The farmers could not grow much food for themselves let alone to sell which meant that many people went hungry on and off of farms. Even if there was food to sell not a lot of people could afford to buy it because of the depression.This meant that many people in the prairies lacked jobs, food, money, and consequently permanent homes. - Zaylee
the prairie provinces where hit hardest because they got most of there money from farming since there was a drought they where not able to harvest enough food and what food they where able to harvest wasn't worth any money -Braden
Specifically, it is argued that the prairie provinces were hit the hardest most likely due to the fact that there main source of income would have been in the farming industry but the drought interfered by making it so farming was a task unable to be completed. Most jobs in the dirty thirties were related one way or another to the agricultural industry that being an actual farmer or even selling items that came from the farm. With nothing coming from the farms, nothing to be sold, bought or even traded the country was unable to live with what they had. The country faced great starvation and thirst during the dust bowl and suicide rates grew, that is why in my opinion i agree that the prairies were hit the hardest than anywhere else in Canada. R.M.
people say the depression hit the prairies the hardest because the lack of water from the drought that had also occurred in the same era put a dent in farmers production and they lost money from dying crops barely passing by with what they made for themselves they also couldn't sell there good to others. - Piper
not only was there no work for the men or money to be made like everywhere else but the prairies were very dependent on agriculture and when the drought hit the prairies that had a major impact on food supply and cost of it. it made survival an everyday challenge that many could withstand. Children where priority to feed and keep hydrated so even the ones able to work and start on rebuilding their communities were malnourished and barely making it by. it was not expected and prepared for by the previously sufficient nation -S.G
The prairies were hit the hardest because they are a agricultural provinces and when the drought came crops were barley growing which hit farming production hard. with farmers hardly producing any crops and people not able to afford to buy anything people were going hungry and trading labor and livestock for basic necessities. -Landon
People would say this because since the prairies are full of agriculture and it's sort of how we feed people. the massive drought really messed things up for the people because you couldn't really grow much crop. so they were starving and pretty thirsty. The prairies had suffered not only that but also plagues of grasshoppers. By the time the depression was over about 1 in 12 people had left the region permanently so that's probably a good indication of how bad it was. -Eric
