Richard Bedford Bennett, 1st Viscount Bennett, PC KC (3 July 1870 – 26 June 1947) was a Canadian lawyer, businessman, politician, and philanthropist. He served as the 11th Prime Minister of Canada from 7 August 1930 to 23 October 1935, during the worst of the Great Depression years. Following his defeat as prime minister, Bennett moved to England, and was elevated to the peerage as Viscount Bennett.
Most historians consider his premiership to have been a failure at a time of severe economic crisis. Blair Neatby says categorically that "as a politician he was a failure". J. L. Granatstein and Norman Hillmer, comparing him to all other Canadian prime ministers concluded, "Bennett utterly failed as a leader. Everyone was alienated by the end—Cabinet, caucus, party, voter and foreigner."
R. B. Bennett was born on 3 July 1870, when his mother, Henrietta Stiles, was visiting at her parents' home in Hopewell Hill, New Brunswick, Canada. He grew up nearby at the home of his father, Henry John Bennett, at Hopewell Cape, the shire town of Albert County, then a town of 1,800 people.
From the creation of the Bank of Canada to the CBC, what is Prime Minister R. B. Bennett's legacy? Author John Boyko will be here to discuss his book "Bennett: The Rebel Who Challenged a Nation".

Responding to the Depression/ Politics of Protest/ Mackenzie King and RB Bennett/The Depression and Global Politics The government drew on huge amount of money prompting the employment and economy and created many irrigation programs on the farm land in Prairie.

Get the Adidas box top under the sofa with the joker
Then let's roll a big old fat
Square like this here, smell like a ( ? )
[Devin]
Man, I bet yo weed ain't better than mine

And sold them hoes and scored a three for ten
I spend my cash and time on grass and wine
You ask for my opinion, I say it don't make
A lot of hoes hope you choke and stay broke
Or smoke coke but nope, I bend but won't break
I made major mistakes but hey, they're all mine
You gotta learn how to get up when you fall down
Lived in a small town throwin rocks at cows in a field of dreams
Hopin it will amount to just more than a hell of beans
I feel the need for beer and weed
[redneck]
Why don't you smoke some here with me?
And we can ride through the ghettos and trailer parks
We can drink and spark until it gets dark
[Devin]
I wake up in the mornin and I roll me a square
Sweet or whatever, I put that hoe in the air

Sit back and recline and try to relax my mind
With some
