The purpose was to force Canada to live up to it's promises to Western Canada, most notably British Columbia. The disparity in political power in Canada was made very clear in the depression. Federal money and support went to regions with political power, not to those thousands of miles away in the West.
Yet these areas were promised support. That was one of the main arguments for Confederation, support from a larger group.
The purpose was to force that support from Canada when it was needed most.
Canada of course seen it as yet another Western Rebellion and acted in the expected manner using their very own Paramilitary Police force originally created for just such rebellions.
Another Rebellion was put down violently and the purpose to get support failed.
