On April 5, 1932, the Colonial Building riot occurred in front of the Colonial Building in St. John's, Newfoundland. Prompted by the Great Depression and corruption in the Squires administration, a peaceful protest degenerated into riots and violence. The riots led to the fall of the Squires government and the defeat of Squires's Liberal Party in the ensuing election.
