Canadian WWII Posters
These posters — also known as "broadsides" — are from Canada during the Second World War. They were made by different government agencies.
Here's an overview on how wartime posters evolved in Canada:
"Early Canadian Second World War propaganda, produced largely under the auspices of the Bureau of Public Information, was informative, word- rather than image-driven, and often relied on humour to relay its messages. Later, wartime demands led to a change of tactics. More aggressive, design-driven, and often sombre propaganda campaigns focused on building unity, harnessing collective energy, and demonstrating the evils of fascism. They also celebrated Canadian achievements in combat, and inspired people with the promise of a better postwar world." (Canadian War Museum)
