Radicals and Resource Developers
A REGION ON THE BRINK, 1919–1945
From: North of Superior
$1.80
New Ontario (as the region was called during this period) was treated as a colony by the imperial government seated in Toronto; however, this vast region, nearly three-quarters of the entire province, provided much of the social and economic innovations of Ontario during its age of expansion. This chapter looks at politics and protest, forestry and the forest worker, expanding cultural and recreational activities, the great depression and discrimination, Workers and work camps, “Hard Rock” William Smith and the gold boom, New Resource Developments, the Aboriginal Experience, Political changes and colonization, and the response to WWII.
