this explosion impacted Canada because there was so much damages that Canada had to pay for, even though it was only $35 million in their time, it would be $500 million in 2007 dollars. Since there was so much damages and so much injuries and lives lost is how it effected Canada.

The Halifax Explosion of 1917 had an imapct on Canada because the ship originally caught flame before exploding. A crowd gathered to watch the ship burn, causing much more casualties. The total people killed instantly (when the ship did explode after drifting into port) was 1,900, and left 9,000 injured.

Almost all of the North end of Halifax was destroyed, Mont-Blanc (the ship that exploded) shattered into little pieces and were blasted 2 miles in every diredction, houses windows shattered 50 miles away.

The Halifax Explosion caused so much damage and killed so many that Canada released Relief Efforts, and money poured in as far as China. Canada gave 18 million and slowly, Halifax was pieced back together.
