What were two effects of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead acts?
There was a decrease in Alcoholism, but an increase in organized crime. Prohibition did not remove the demand for Alcoholic Beverages, so it encouraged bootlegging and illegal speakeasies. Much of the profit went to criminal organizations.
What year did Prohibition start in Ontario?
The issue is a complex one because the 'Dunkin Act' of 1864, and later Canada Temperance Act of 1878, allowed for municipalities to hold referendums and prohibit the local sale of liquor (although liquor could still legally be mail-ordered or prescribed by doctors). In Ontario, the Ontario Temperance Act of 1916 enacted prohibition as of that year and an Order in Council by the Government of Canada made the manufacture of spirits anywhere in the Dominion illegal in March 1918 (however this only lasted twenty-one months, ending in December 1919). For the peoples of the First Nations and those legally labeled as "Indians" they were barred from alcohol under various legislation -- but again an exact date for the start of prohibition for all of Ontario is difficult to obtain.
Did prohibition end because it encouraged gangsters?
Prohibition did contribute to the rise of organized crime, as illegal activities surrounding the production and distribution of alcohol became highly profitable for gangsters. However, the primary reasons for the end of Prohibition in 1933 were the economic pressures of the Great Depression and the realization that the law was largely unenforceable, leading to widespread disregard among the public. Ultimately, the negative social and economic impacts of Prohibition outweighed its intended goals, prompting its repeal.
How did prohibition encourage people to break the law?
It encouraged people to break the law because they wanted to show the government that it is America and that it is our American right to be able to drink.

Should all farmers be required to practice sustainable agriculture?
Required, no. Encouraged, educated, informed of the benefits, etc., then yes. More regulation is about as successful and useful as Prohibition was in the 1920's.
