Why were many canadians isolationist in the 1930s?

Many Canadians were isolationist in the 1930s due to the lingering effects of the Great Depression, which created a focus on domestic economic recovery over international involvement. Additionally, the trauma of World War I fostered a reluctance to engage in foreign conflicts. The belief in neutrality and the desire to avoid entanglements in European affairs also contributed to this isolationist sentiment, as many Canadians prioritized stability and peace at home.
