War on the Home Front did not negatively affect many Canadians during the First World War. The Wartime Elections Act had a political effect on Canadians. The great influence affected Canada socially. Ultimately, propaganda and victory ties caused Canada's economic collapse. Canada's home front during the First World War had a negative impact on the Canadian people politically, socially and economically. Robert Borden's proposed Wartime Elections Act weakened Canada as a country politically. This law passed in 1917 took away the vote from citizens who had emigrated from enemy countries. Furthermore, the law gave the right to vote only to army nurses and close relatives of soldiers. In 1918, women living in Canada were granted the right to vote, but they still could not be elected to Parliament. During the latter part of the war, conscription was introduced, which was not a good sign for many Canadians because it forced many men to leave their families and join the war. John English of the Canadian Encyclopedia stated that "conscription was unpopular and that Canadians not of British descent would band together to defeat the government in the next general election." This statement shows that many Canadians, along with the English, did not support many of the government's decisions, including conscription. These rules imposed on Canadian citizens weakened Canada politically because only men could vote until women gained the right. Some women, who had no soldiers in their families, were unable to vote. As a result, the Wartime Elections Act had a negative political impact on the Canadian people. The Spanish flu was a contributing factor to the many deaths that occurred during this period. In 1918-1919, a form of influenza killed between 20 and 40 million people…half of Canada's railroad debt. Finally, women's suffrage was bad for many Canadian women because they felt they should not be part of politics and that their job was to take care of children and homes. Additionally, it took a long time for Canada to get a woman to work in the parliament office. Canada's efforts in the First World War still have a lasting impact and can be used as a teaching tool for many. War on the home front during the First World War caused the downfall of Canada as a country because this act towards many citizens affected them politically, socially and economically. The Wartime Elections Act had a political impact on many Canadians. The great flu ruined Canadian society socially. Ultimately, the propaganda and victory constraints used on Canadian citizens caused the economy to collapse. In conclusion, the war on the home front was not a good outcome for most Canadians.
