Do not get in the way of a child and their chocolate. That's the lesson chocolate bar makers learned in 1947 when they quietly jacked up the price of chocolate bars to 8 cents. Little did they know, there was a group of Ladysmith kids ready to wage war against the three-cent hike. In this episode, we hear the story of the Ladysmith candy bar strike and how it sparked national protests including 200 kids storming the hallways of the B.C. Legislature.
