When the economy failed, neither Federal nor Provincial Governments did anything to help the thousands of families in crisis. With unemployment from 25%, and much more widespread under-employment, local governments took up the slack, helped eventually by charities: Anglican for English, Catholic for French, either were imposed on First Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time of the girls\u2019 shopping trip, about 30% of Montr\u00e9alers qualified for some kind of government aid. The full complement of social welfare covered about half of people\u2019s basic expenses,<sup>2<\/sup> plus resources weren\u2019t provided in cash: people were given \u201crelief vouchers\u201d that they could use to pay for rent, food, and fuel for heating. There was no way for unemployed people to cover things like medicine, clothes, or school supplies.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were supplementary welfare programs, but they were haphazard and reactive, as are records of them. Because of one of these programs, on the day of the shopping trip, Florence had vouchers for children\u2019s shoes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Montreal-1930s-Archives-de-la-ville-de-Montre\u0301al.jpg\" alt=\"A bustling city street with an eight or nine storey building, likely a department store; lots of pedestrians; and the street full of 1930s cars and tramcars\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Montreal-1930s-Archives-de-la-ville-de-Montre\u0301al.jpg 798w, https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Montreal-1930s-Archives-de-la-ville-de-Montre\u0301al-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Montreal-1930s-Archives-de-la-ville-de-Montre\u0301al-768x962.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><figcaption>One of Montreal\u2019s shopping precincts in the early 1930s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Le-plus-grand-magasin-canadien-franc\u0327ais-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e-Montre\u0301al-The-largest-French-store-in-the-British-Empire-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e.jpg\" alt=\"A colourised postcard of the Dupuis Freres Department store, fronted by a sunny street with a perfect blue sky overhead\" class=\"wp-image-259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Le-plus-grand-magasin-canadien-franc\u0327ais-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e-Montre\u0301al-The-largest-French-store-in-the-British-Empire-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e.jpg 681w, https:\/\/sarahjansen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Le-plus-grand-magasin-canadien-franc\u0327ais-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e-Montre\u0301al-The-largest-French-store-in-the-British-Empire-Dupuis-fre\u0300res-limite\u0301e-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><figcaption>I wonder if they went to the big department store, Dupuis Fr\u00e8res<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Florence told the clerk she was there to get shoes that would last her daughters through the winter and beyond.
