Labour Movements 1900-1950
The first half of the twentieth century was one of the most turbulent times in Canada History; the rise of socialism coincided with an increase in labour movement among the working class. The most famous labour dispute in Canadian history is the Winnipeg General strike in 1919, however far to much attention has only focussed on this event, while ignoring others. In the larger context, social movements cropped up in many cities, amongst many industries, involving many people, that cut across regional lines and encompassed all of Canada.
