After several difficult years following WWI, the Canadian economy entered a time of unprecedented prosperity. Why?

• Due to a boom in the manufacturing sector

• Because of a significant discovery of natural resources

• Through increased trade with the United States

• As a result of government economic policies

From 1925 to 1929, the Prairie provinces enjoyed huge wheat crops, leading to the purchase of more mechanized farm equipment and the creation of wheat pools and co-operatives due to recovering Europe's ability to buy Canadian wheat. What was the significance of this development?

• It marked the beginning of modern agricultural practices in the Prairie provinces.

• It led to the decline of wheat production in Canada.

• It caused a significant economic downturn in the Prairie provinces.

• It had no significant impact on the Prairie provinces or Canadian agriculture.

The need for electricity grew during the 1920s due to new home appliances and a growing manufacturing sector, making "White coal" a major industry in Quebec and Ontario (e.g. Niagara Falls) and leading Canada to become the second largest producer of hydroelectric power. What was the impact of this growth in hydroelectric power?

• Increased industrial productivity

• Decrease in energy costs

• Environmental degradation

• All of the above

Automobiles created a great demand for oil and gas. The search for "black gold" was on! In 1924, Turner Valley, Alberta struck it rich - the Alberta oil industry had begun. Which of the following best describes the effects of this discovery on the Canadian economy?

• Increased employment and economic growth

• Decreased importance of the agricultural sector

• Led to environmental concerns and regulations

• Had no significant impact on the Canadian economy
