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.
Most provinces repealed their bans in the 1920s, though alcohol was illegal in Prince Edward Island until 1948. As legislation prohibiting consumption of alcohol was repealed, it was typically replaced with regulation imposing restrictions on the sale of alcohol to minors and excise taxes on alcoholic products.he drinking of alcohol within Canada in the early 20th century was widespread. The prohibition movement blanketed the public media in the early 20th century with the majority of those who drank alcohol doing so in saloons.
