22nd battalion (S) +2
When the French-Canadian's went to Britain for the war, no one spoke French and the French-Canadian's only spoke some English. This resulting in commands getting confused and not knowing what to do. Also weren't promoted because of it. But then the 22nd battalion was formed. Which was French and English speaking, so they could be treated equally.

As shocking as it may be women were once not considered people. A women named Emily Murphy and 4 other women, wanted to know if Emily Murphy could run for senate. Which resulted in them asking a judge, who said "Woman were not persons in the matter of rights and privileges" in other words no. But they decided to test that law using the BNA act.

Employment (E) 0
Since all of the soldiers were coming back from war there wasn't as many job, in the early 1920's. On top of that the wheat market collapsed, causing farming to move to the city to get jobs that were already gone. They unemployment rate became 15%. Things got better in 1926 when traditional raw materials increased. Allowing the farmers to do their jobs and there was a better market for traditional resources.
