Prohibition in CanadaUnlike the United States, where from 1920 to 1933 a constitutional
amendment outlawed the manufacture, sale and transportation of all
beer, wines and spirits, Canada’s attempt to ban alcohol was complicated
by the shared jurisdiction of alcohol-related laws between Ottawa,
the capital, and the provinces. Provincial laws varied, but in general,
they closed drinking establishments and forbade the sale of alcohol for
beverage purposes and its possession and consumption. Yet as early as
1920, tourists flocked to the historic city of Québec where prohibition had
been soundly rejected and the provincial government was reaping huge
profits selling liquor. The Province of Ontario, where our play takes place,
was one of the last to reject prohibition. The greatest difference between
the United States law and provincial laws, however, was that Canada never
halted its manufacture of alcohol. Thus was born the dangerous but highly
lucrative business of smuggling that alcohol across the border to thirsty
Americans. Fortunes were made in the United States, but Canada got its
share. Neither our so-called “Noble Experiment” nor Canada’s lucrative
one stopped alcohol or crime. Instead, it raised new types of creative and
highly-organized criminals on both sides of the border.
