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.
The main reason for prohibition is a belief that people cannot control their desires and if drugs were legal the population would immediately become addicted to drugs. This fear of addiction is the driving force of prohibition. 100 years of prohibition has caused the demonisation of drug users and exaggerated views of the dangers of drugs. This has largely been caused by the media which has left much of the public convinced prohibition is the only course of action.
