Early life Brodie was born on the east side of Bowery in New York City, just three days after his father was killed in a street brawl, and grew up locally, selling newspapers and blacking shoes around the city. In his youth, he ...

It was Depression-era Vancouver's final violent clash between unemployed protesters and police that provoked widespread criticism of police brutality. Background The Relief Project Workers' Union (RCPU) was the successor to the Relief Camp Workers' Union, which had led the 1935 strike that culminated in the On-to-Ottawa Trek and Regina Riot.

The pay rate was similar to the earlier camps, five dollars a month, compared to the twenty cents per day offered by the "slave camps." The work was primarily seasonal work on farms. As in 1935, unemployed men from across the country drifted to British Columbia because of the milder climate an ...
