Abstract

ABSTRACT Consumers on the Canadian home front did not suffer extreme deprivation as a consequence of the Second World War. Price controls effectively combatted inflation and rationing was neither widespread nor unpopular where it did apply. Consequently, black markets were not a major feature of life in wartime Canada. However, at war’s end limited black markets, especially in meat, emerged as consumer expectations outstripped supply.
