`Valcartier Camp:` Training camp for Canadian soldiers

|

|
||||
- largest military camp ever seen on Canadian soil

|
||||
- recruitment posters urged enlistment on basis of patriotism and emotional connectiosn to the war's major issues
|
||||
- Later, desparate posters shamed men into enlisting
|
||||
- Wartime propanganda urged women to pressure men to enlist
|

Some Beliefs in Canada during that time:
|
||||
|
||||
**Social Darwinism**: Provided "scientific" explanation and social justification for racial inequality, cultural exploitation and laissez-faire capitalist activity
|
||||
|
||||
**Imperialism**: belief in progress and in white superiority was taken for granted throughout the Western world. Many English-speaking Canadians believed that the British principles of government, were the best and that Canada's greatness depended on its British heritage
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly there was still some questionable/racist decisions. Requirements were strict:
|
||||
- 18 - 45 years old
|
||||
- good eyesight arched feet, healthy teeth(???)
|
||||
- 5 feet 3 incches tall at least (yay I'm taller than that)
|
||||
- The guy behind the desk decided everything, this caused the racism. Most non-white recruits were rejected.
|
||||
- Later on, the requiements loosened as less people wanted to go to war.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sam Hughes
|
||||
- Appointed by `Robert Borden` to recurist and train new troops
|
||||
- Turned 3000 troops to 30,000 within 2 months
|
||||
|
||||
### ShovelShield
|
||||
wasted $34,000 to make 25,000 sheleves with a hole in them. Really inefficient (could not dig). Bad idea.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ross Rifle
|
||||
Canadian made rifle, but got jammed easily from dirt in the trenches, bad in trenches, bad idea in general.
|
||||
|
||||
The saying goes that Canadian would pick up rifles from dead British troops rather than using the ross riffles.
|
||||
|
||||
### Corruption
|
||||
He appointed close family members and friends as high positions within the military and government.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Due to these reasons, he got fired (duh). His only success was Val Cartier Camp and industrialize Ontario.
|
||||
|
||||
## Canadian Troops
|
||||
- Considered wild, unruly, and mutinous. Refused to salute officiers. Crashed at private bars for officiers.
|
||||
- They fricking burned down a tent caused they were showed the same movie 3 times
|
||||
- They be doing it, 5% of the 30,000 had STD's

## Non-Canadian Recruits
