Mary's Diary 1930's( ten years after)

Mary's Diary
1930




Dear Diary,

The economy is really bad now these days, this started in 1929, they are calling it the “Great Depression”, and this started by the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 also known as the “Black Tuesday”.

Many people are leaving in relief camps, and the city dwellers are all sleeping in the streets.

Mackenzie King is the Prime Minister, he is refusing to to provide federal aid to the provinces, and only introduced moderate relief efforts. But before Mackenzie King was the Prime Minister Richard Bedford Bennett was the Prime Minister for most of the time.There is two new political parties that emerged because of the Depression the parties are CCF and Social Credit.

I hope this Depression ends soon, so everything can be the same as before.
