canada's longest serving prime minister, known for:
refusing to intervene in the economy during the depression
refusing to help bail provincial governments out because they hosted conservative governments
having his immigration minister comment on jewish asylum seekers, saying "none is too many"
and various other things
yeah
and then there's
who as a prime minister could have been great
but he was not suited for the depression
but as a person was
honestly a good human being
who, when people wrote letters begging him for help, would send them generous sums in response with his own letter
he served one term
during the worst years
people began calling newspapers bennett blankets, abandoned shacks "bennett barnyards", etc, etc
he tried opening work camps for the unemployed, where conditions were dreadful, pay was shit, and communism caught on enough to spook the shit out of him
and resulted in a big protest and trek to ottawa that was put down in regina in the "regina riot"

fun fact: america has no actual national language
i could go around speaking in frisian if i really wanted
no one would understand me but i could
