Don't they teach this stuff in school any more? How about the Winnipeg Strike? http://www.histori.ca/peace/page.do?pageID=347 (sorry, the url linky thing doesn't work) Or the On to Ottawa Trek http://history.cbc.ca/history/?MIval=EpisContent.html&series_id=1&episode_id=13&chapter_id=3&page_id=4&lang=E
" On July 1, 1935, the simmering tensions of the Great Depression boiled over in Canada as police and jobless protesters clashed in the streets of Regina.
When it was over, one policeman was dead, 40 protesters and five citizens were wounded, and 130 men were arrested. The city was a ruin, the sidewalks covered in broken glass.
It was Canada's worst riot during the Depression."
Regardless of the past, when the pain gets bad enough, there will be social unrest.
