== == A large number of the returning military vets took advantage of the FREE University education that was offered to them by the Canadian Government. That significantly increased the number of professional degree holders who went on to become the Doctors, Engineers and others who contributed to boom in Canada throughout the 50's and 60's. Another factor was the huge increase in births, from 1946 to 1960, as those same Vets fathered a record number of kids, all of whom would require new homes to live in, new schools to attend, new parks to play in and lots of new toys, clothes and food. New cars to ride in and new TV and appliances, and new stores to shop in. A BOOM time, with very low un-employment, and thousands of new houses and schools being built. After as much as 6 years of being away from Canada, the veterans wanted peace and stability in the country, and demanded that the politicians make it work and run smoothly. Giant projects were begun like the LeDuc oil fields, and the St Lawrence Seaway, and the Distant Early Warning System of northern radar stations to give advance warning of possible Russian bomber attacks. The industrial plants that had been building war-time equipment went back to making consumer goods like fridges and stoves, and cars. The new found incomes were used to buy new things, and the Canadian economy was BOOMING.
