The start of the great depression began with the crash of the stock market. This had a huge impact to the McCain family. Even though they did not invest in the stock market, it made them loose their jobs because no one could afford medical care.

Mackenzie King put up an idea to create unemployment insurance in August 1940. This made sure that another Great Depression did not happen. It is now put into action. The McCain family was relieved that it happened. Arthur and Mary McCain can now stop worrying about their kids going through the suffering again.

It was 3 years into the Great Depression. Arthur McCain did not have enough money to pay all the bills. Recently, relief camps created by R.B. Bennett was released nationally with the recommendation of the chief of the general staff Maj-Gen A.G.L. McNaughton. It offered 20 cents a day, medical care, bunkhouse shelter, work clothes, and 3 meals a day. This sounded like a good idea to Arthur until he found out how back aching the work was. Arthur kept working to make sure his family had money.

The Victory Bonds from World War 1 came back to Canada again in June 1941. The McCain family was running out of hope put whatever money they could into a Victory Bond. The total amount of money added up to 12 billion dollars. The risk that the McCain family took paid off.

The battle of Normandy which was also known as D-Day. This was the last time Arthur McCain was seen. Timothy and Christopher was also with their father in the front line. Because of the delay of the deployment of the tanks, it was a blood bath. Arthur died because of this fatal flaw. Timothy and Christopher were lucky and escaped with scratches and bruises. All of his family members mourned his death.

The election for a new Prime Minister was on its way. Arthur McCain came back home to his family to discuss who they wanted to vote for. Thinking about the situation right now, they voted R.B. Bennet. With all of the promises he made, the McCain family had to vote for him. They also thought that by voting him in, the would make Canada economically better because he was a wealthy business man. They were completely wrong. Bennet failed to fulfill any of his promises and became a joke.
