Label TextThe Canadian government instituted rationing during the Second World War. It wanted to ensure enough supplies for both civilian and military use. In addition to food stuffs such as meat, sugar, tea, coffee, and butter, the government also rationed gasoline and alcohol. For most civilians, rationing was a nuisance rather than a hardship.
