Unemployment was the election of 1930.King goernment was defeated, and the Conservatives came to power under Richard B. Bennett. Bennett government established more than 200 relief camps for single, unemployed men and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to aid the needy.
Bennett dealt harshly with strikers and demonstrators and earned the nickname “Iron Heel Bennett.” but he also saw the need for reform. His government created a number of important federal agencies, including the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1932, the Bank of Canada economic problems continued, however, and many Canadians blamed Bennett for failing to ease the hard time. Bennett unpopularity led to the formation of new political parties, which included the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in 1933 and the Social Credit Party 1935. In the election of 1935, the Liberal Party regained control of the House of Commons. King then began his third term as prime minister. See Great Depression(In Canada).
