In Canada during WW1, the main things that were rationed were food and gasoline. Prime
Minister Borden put rations or limits, on food so that the soldiers would get their full rations and meals so they are strong fighters. Weekly, each Canadian adult was entitled to have 1.8 kg of meat and 220g of sugar. The government also encouraged people not to horde. Gasoline was needed for the transportation and airplane fighter crafts. Each Canadian adult was limited to 26 L weekly. Many people were fined for trying to buy more then their limit and also to whoever sold someone more then their weekly sacrifice. The government then began to hire companies such as "The National Film Board", and "The Wartime Information Board", to make Propaganda that was convincing towards rations.
