Supporting the War effort

With Canada at war, the government needed people, money and food to support the war effort.

-Why were people needed?
-Why was food needed?
-Why was money needed



To raise people, food and money, they printed various posters.
-Why Posters and not T.V. or Radio commercials?
-How would the government get our attention today?


Some examples of the posters can be found here
