the Sydney Post1927  \nFor several years the Maritime Prov-inces have been dispirited,discontentedand pessimistic because of general econ-omic depression.Trade has shown littletendency to buoyancy,or expansiveness.Industries have languished or disappeared.Large numbers of the inhabitantshave gone to the United States,not onlysingle men and women but whole fam-ilies,so that many districts have beendesolated by the abandonment of farmsand homes.  \nAs a result of the artificial conditionscreated by the war,there was apparentbetterment,but when this era of infla-tion with its accompaniments of goodprices,high wages and extravagant liv.ing had passed,the aftermath of depres-sion and stagnation was more markedthan at any previous period.In seekingfor an explanation of this state of af-fairs the people,owing mainly to the in-  \nfluence of the newspapers,graduallycame to attribute their ills to the un-fair treatment which they claimed hadbeen meted out to them by the rest ofCanada since Confederation.Resent-ment became very intense,especially inNova Scotia,and the desiraility ofse-ceding from the Dominion was freelyexpressed in many quarters.  Finally,when the people of the old province,al-ter a long period of allegiance to theLiberal party,voted Conservative by anoverwhelming majority,both in Fed-eral and Local elections,the presentPrime Minister decided that it was timeto investigate the affairs of the Mari-times and the Duncan Commission wasappointed for the purpose.Its findingsand the recent action of Parliament bas-ed thereon are fresh in the minds of allThe effect on the people by the sea hasbeen most striking.After years of inef-fective agitation and protest,and of al-most contemptuous neglect by the poli-ticians of both parties,a Prime Ministerboldly decreed that the grievancesshould be thoroughly considered by aCommission,pledging himself to beguided'by their recommendations inpassing legislative measures calculatedto remove wrong and injustice and tobring peace to the Maritimes.The Dun-ean Report met with universal approvaland when the Prime Minister proceededto carry out his pledge by presenting itto Parliament and enacting legislationwhich ensured the adoption of most ofthe measures contained in the Report,the people of the Maritimes,regardleesof party,were filled with a spirit ofthankfulness,not because favors were  \nbestowed on them but because they feltthat long-deferred justice had at lastbeen granted them.The passage of theGovernment's measure through Parlia-ment with little opposition or carpingcriticism was regarded as an indicationof the fair-mindedness and generosityfelt by the great provinces of Canada to-wards their smaller sisters by the sea.Had this action not been taken therewould have been no ocean-to-ocean cele-bration of the Jubilee of Confederation.The Maritimes would have held them-selves in sullen silence,cherishin","cbCaigA5RnGiXKWA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigA5RnGiXKWA","pdf",1039913,13,"English","# Technical Microform Data\n## Restrictions on Use\n## Film Size and Reduction Ratio\n## Date Filmed and Production Details\n# The Maritimes Since Confederation - An Economic Survey\n## Depression, Migration, and Economic Stagnation\n## Inflation Aftermath and Political Resentment\n## The Duncan Commission and Legislative Action\n## Confederation Conditions and Coercion Narrative","[{\"question\":\"What economic problems affected the Maritime Provinces described in the survey?\",\"answer\":\"The survey links widespread pessimism to general economic depression, weak trade, languishing or disappearing industries, and large-scale emigration that left farms and homes abandoned.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did resentment intensify in the Maritime Provinces?\",\"answer\":\"It states that, influenced mainly by newspapers, people attributed their hardships to unfair treatment by the rest of Canada since Confederation, with resentment especially intense in Nova Scotia.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the Duncan Commission and Parliament’s actions affect the people?\",\"answer\":\"It reports that the Duncan Report gained universal approval and that legislation largely adopting its measures brought long-deferred justice, filling residents with gratitude and enabling celebration of Confederation’s jubilee.\"}]","The Maritimes since Confederation - An Economic Survey - 1927 | PDF",1789967003,33]
