Bennett was not in favour of relief He did give each Province 20 million for work creation programs He rasied tariffs, trying to help, but that was a mistake and other countries followed in suit He became a target for peoples frustration e.g Bennett Barnyard (a deserted prairie farm); Bennett Blanket (newspaper); Bennett Coffee (roasted wheat) Banned the Communist party in 1931 because he feared the jobless people would be influenced He created work camps for unemployed single men.
Summary
All in all, Bennett did practically nothing to help the people who were affected by the horrible economy. When he tried to help he just made things worse, when he raised the tariffs other countries did as well making it even harder for people. People began to target him and mock him for what he DIDN'T do, which was to help. He created work camps, which had very bad conditions and low pay so people ended up protesting later on and he was afraid of Communism so he banned it, fearing the people who were jobless or homeless would be influenced to fight back.
