In the summer of 1935, thousands of desperate unemployed men hopped freight trains from Vancouver to Ottawa, demanding work and wages from a prime minister who refused to meet them. This is the story of the On-to-Ottawa Trek — a forgotten protest that pitted war veterans against the RCMP, sparked the Regina Riot, and helped bring down R.B. Bennett's Conservative government. We explore the conditions in federal relief camps, the birth of the Relief Camp Workers' Union, the leadership of Arthur 'Slim' Evans, and the brutal police attack on Market Square in Regina. Along the way, we meet the striking workers, the politicians who feared revolution, and the ordinary Canadians who watched the drama unfold. It's a story of desperation, solidarity, and the fight for dignity during Canada's darkest economic years. #OnToOttawaTrek #GreatDepression #ReliefCamps #RBennett #ArthurSlimEvans #ReginaRiot #Unemployment #LabourHistory #RCMP #CanadianHistory #1935 #Protest #DepressionEra #MarketSquare #FexingoHistory #TheStoryOfCanada #Podcast #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
