How did the drought in 1929 affect farmers in Alberta?

Many of the people who lived in the Prairie Provinces of Canada were farmers. A drought meant lack of water for their crops. The Prairies were so dry that they eventually became almost a desert. The drought lasted until 1939 - an entire decade. Though some tried to deal with their new lot, others moved to the city, or to cities in other provinces. The lack of jobs during the Great Depression was another contending factor, when looking for any other work. Those who stayed dealt with raging dust storms, and locusts. The seed they planted could cost more than the final crop. In addition to wheat being worth almost nothing, the prices of cattle and livestock dropped as well. Farmers resorted to tilling their crops less deeply (stirring up the soil less, so it did not dry out as much), and by planting other crops which were worth more, such as oats or flax. The drought from 1929-1939 was one of the most difficult times for farmers in Alberta, and in other Prairie provinces. The very landscape changed, as sand dunes shifted.

What is the legal age a child can leave their mom and live with their dad in Alberta?

If you are still a minor it's the parents who decide unless the child is considered mature enough to make that decision. The court will look at the childs;

- maturity

- age

- reason for wanting to move

- how strongly the child feel about wanting to live with that parent

- there is no specific age given but the older the child is the more weight it will give to the childs wish. The wishes of a child age 12 and up are usually taken into consideration, and an older teenager's wishes are likely to be decisive.
