I. The government is classified by the former United States and other states as a "Democracy"
II. The constitution allows Freedom of Speech, Religion, Protest, Freedom of Movement, and Naming of Children; however the country has been III. prone to religious conflicts between the Catholics in Quebec and the Protestants.
IV. The Constitution has conscription; but after the Stock Market Fall this law was abolished and replaced with a more clear one, declaring that Conscription is only needed in situations of emergency [Ex: Canada being invaded and routed back] [Out of OOC sort of Reserve system]
V. Freedom of the Press is allowed, yet the local police forces [In Quebec mostly] have silenced ultra-nationalist newspapers who actively encourage a second Quebecois Easter Uprising
VI. Alcohol is allowed [It was banned in 1919, but was repelled in 1934 by the Conservative Party in an attempt for more support.] however, you can only move bottle of booze from one province to another with the permission of the provincial liquor control board.
[More will be added in RP]

Beginning on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, when the value of the New York stock market fell dramatically, the Great Depression was a time when Canadians suffered unprecedented levels of poverty due to unemployment. The unemployment rate was approximately 30 per cent and one in five Canadians depended on government relief for survival. The extent and duration of unemployment during these years rapidly exhausted the ability of volunteer organizations and municipal and provincial governments to relieve the suffering of the unemployed and their dependents, prompting public demands for the federal government to solve the problem through make-work projects, increased spending and intervention in formerly strictly provincial jurisdictions such as social services.
he breadth and depth of human misery resulting from the Great Depression and the creative responses it prompted in individuals are vividly described in letters recounting how families bartered food in exchange for medical services. R. B. Bennett’s Conservative government initially opposed increases in federal spending and an expansion of the federal role in social welfare because Bennett believed that free enterprise and tariffs would protect Canadian industry and ensure access to export markets.
In the 1934 elections, the People of Canada voted for the Liberals who won almost unanimous, a started a Canadian "New Deal" type of relief by 1935. By 1937, the depth of the Depression had seemed to stop, but it left its mark on the country's economic landscape. Atlantic Canada was especially hard hit. Newfoundland (an independent dominion at the time) was bankrupt economically and politically and gave up responsible government by reverting to direct Canadian control, and the government is still unable to mass produce anything and many factories are still shut down, and the Armed Forces stands extremely low at only 20,000 men.
In the midst of the Great Depression, the Crown-in-Council attempted to uplift the people, and created two national corporations: the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC), The former, established in 1933, was seen as a means to keep the country unified and uplifted in these harsh economic times. Many poor citizens found radio as an escape and used it to restore their own faiths in a brighter future. Broadcasting coast to coast mainly in English, with some French, primarily in Quebec, the CRBC helped stop Canada from breaking out into entirely social and economic chaos.
And in 1935 the Bank of Canada was founded which helped regulate currency and credit which had been horribly managed amongst Canadian citizens in the prior years. It was also set up to serve as a private banker’s bank and to assist and advise the Canadian government on its own debts and financial matters. The bank played an important role to help steer government spending in the right direction. The bank's effort took place through the tough years of the depression and still hasn't made progress.
And then a surprise came, the "Dustbowl Drought" arrived in Canada. Wheat prices plummeted,and Then nature turned on the prairie farmers as well. The once-lush fields dried up and the cropped burned in the sun. Thousands of families simply abandoned their farms altogether
Farmers found little relief from nature during the 1930s. There were small gestures of help from other parts of the country; Maritimers sent salt cod and Torontonians sent money. But as the Dust Bowl continued for most of the decade and wheat prices plunged to the lowest in recorded history.
In 1935 the Canadian Wheat Board was created to market and establish a minimum floor price for wheat, and the Dustbowls appeared to come to a halt in 1936, however, most of the land was severely drought and unable to be harvested, many fled to the East, where they established farms in Newfoundland which helped boost the economy.
The Canadian after the Dustbowl were forced to rely on themselves, help from the United Kingdom came every so and now which helped strengthen the link between the mother country and Canada. With the fall of the British Raj in India and the rise of a new German Empire, Canada has exerted it's position to being "Jewel" of the United Kingdom
It's position as led to Canada establishing gas companies in Alberta along with drilling rights to the provinces and has established drilling and natural gas fields, the Canadians attempt to learn from the mistake of Turner Valley, but this has led to slowed down in drilling in the provinces. Canada still produces oil for the British Empire, but not as much as it once used to.
And at the start of the German Revolution Canada shipped materials to both sides which allowed for a minor profit, but not one large enough to make a difference in the Canadian fragile economy.
And now the year is 1937
The United States has fallen, and some see Canada as next.
Can the Liberal Party hold the country together? Or will Canada completely collapse?
We'll sure find out.

After the abolition of Conscription, the Canadian Army remains relatively small, and with the Great Depression the Army is unable to maintain a huge arsenal of equipment; but the Canadian Army remains well trained despite the major setbacks it has not been recently deployed in any action and is often called the "Silent Army"

The Canadian Navy is the second largest in all of the Commonwealth behind only the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The Canadian Fleet since the great depression has since a large reduction in size yet it still maintains a large commercial and Merchant Marines, the Canadian Fleet saw action in the Indian Uprising with other Commonwealth Forces the Canadian lost approximately 3,500 - 5,000 young men which straw violent protesting which ended with Canada signing an act for a volunteer only army.

The Aerial Forces are still new to the Canadian Armed Forces, being added to the Naval Force in 1934 a bill has been propoesd to the House of Commons to make it it's own branch, however the bill has yet to be enacted. The Aerial Forces have moderate and is considered to be the weakest; it's arsenal is consisted of Interwar Fighters and Early "Modern" ones as well and the Government refuses to spend any more on it, believing it to be a useless and cowardly branch.
