A fact from Chocolate bar strike appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 June 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1947, Canadian children staged a nationwide candy bar protest against an increase in the price of chocolate bars from five to eight cents?

I archived some of the bare links in this article. Some important points:
I've never done this before, so if I've done something wrong, feel free to fix it.
I couldn't listen to the radio interview by the CBC. I don't know if this is just a problem with me, or if it's permanently broken.
Citation 2 seems a bit odd to me. It's not really a source for information in the article, more like supplemental information so the reader can better understand it. Is there somewhere else that we could put it?
Hi! Thank you for improvements to the sourcing, it looks OK to me. I would suggest keeping the CBC interview even though it does not play in the archived version because CBC is a reliable source and a transcript may exist somewhere. If we remove it, there will be no "trail" to the original. Citation 2 which is commentary seems fine IMO, I've seen this style of references in many other articles, sometimes they are placed in a separate section called "Notes", but I have also seen them in "References". Thanks again for updating the sources in the Candy Bar Protest. Netherzone (talk) 18:40, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Candy bar protest → Chocolate Bar Strike – This covers an event in Canadian history, however 'Candy Bar' is an American term understood but rarely used in Canadian English, where "Chocolate Bar" is the standard term. This event is known by a number of variants of Candy Bar/Chocolate Bar Strike/Protest, and they're all similarly well-known, but "chocolate bar strike" has 7,320 google results, while the current title, "candy bar protest" has 3,360 google results.
