Why Did Canada Have Prohibition. Prohibition in Canada was the culmination of multiple movements, and multiple things happening in the time period of WWI. The fight against alcohol, or the Temperance Movement, began as early as the 1860âs.he fact that prohibition was passed in most of these provinces after women gained the right of suffrage is attributed to the suffrage and temperance movements of this time. Another reason for prohibition occurring was the rationing of food that took place in Canada during the First World War.
1 Prohibition ended the legal sale of liquor and thereby created demand for an illicit supply. The earliest bootleggers began smuggling foreign-made commercial liquor into the United States from across the Canadian and Mexican borders and along the seacoasts from ships under foreign registry. Their favourite sources of supply were the Bahamas, Cuba, and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, off the southern coast of Newfoundland.
