As early as the First World War, Canada wanted to convince the population to change its habits in order to export more meat and wheat flour to the Allies. These government interventions led to the first Canada Food Guide in 1942.

Established in 1928 and closed in 1971, Pier 21 was the gateway to Canada for over one million immigrants. Canada continued to receive an average of nearly 13,000 immigrants per year during the Second World War.

Before the beginning of the Second World War, Canada perceived the United States as a potential enemy that could invade the country at any time. After the Ogdensburg Declaration, the two countries signed a first mutual protection agreement in 1940.

We will see how, under the pressure of the war, Canada went from being an essentially agricultural country to an industrialized one.

Percival Molson, a Canadian Army captain who died at the front and was an avid sportsman, bequeathed $75,000 to McGill University to help defray the costs of building a new athletic stadium.
