By what year could a majority of Canadians afford adequate food, shelter, and clothing for the first time?

  1. 1951

  2. 1940

  3. 1965

  4. 1972

The correct answer is: 1951

During the 1950s, Canada experienced a period of economic growth and prosperity, known as the "baby boom era." This led to increased wages and access to social programs, such as universal healthcare and affordable housing, that allowed more Canadians to afford basic necessities like food, shelter, and clothing. Therefore, by 1951, a majority of Canadians could afford these necessities. Option B (1940) is too early and does not reflect the post-World War II economic boom. Option C (1965) and D (1972) are also too late, as Canada's economy began to experience challenges and income inequality in the 1970s and 1980s.
