Are you breaking the Law? Patriotic Canadians will not hoard Food, c. 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This litho print from 1914 captures a pivotal moment in Canadian history during World War I. The poster depicts a man and woman standing nervously by their blind-covered window, clutching bags of hoarded flour and sugar. Their guilty expressions are juxtaposed against the silhouette of a passing policeman, symbolizing the watchful eye of authority. The presence of a Canada Food Board statement hanging on the wall serves as a stark reminder that hoarding food is illegal and punishable by fines. This powerful propaganda piece aimed to instill patriotism among Canadians, urging them to resist selfish tendencies and contribute to the war effort through responsible consumption. Amidst the backdrop of war production and rationing measures, this artwork highlights themes of sacrifice, government intervention, and civic duty. It reflects both economic concerns surrounding food shortages and an attempt to maintain social order during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this vintage image today, it offers us insight into the challenges faced by our ancestors during wartime. It reminds us that even in moments of uncertainty, unity can be found through shared responsibility for one another's well-being. This litho print stands as a testament to Canadian resilience and determination in upholding societal values amidst adversity—a timeless message that continues to resonate with audiences over a century later.
