The War Measures Act of 1939 was legislation enacted by the Canadian government in response to the outbreak of World War II. It granted the federal government extensive powers to maintain security and order, including the ability to detain individuals without trial, control the economy, and regulate communication. The Act aimed to mobilize resources and respond swiftly to threats, reflecting the urgency of wartime conditions. Although it was initially intended for the duration of the war, its implications raised concerns about civil liberties and government overreach.
