    We are not talking about previous conscription, we are talking about future conscriptions. History is a useful indicator but does not predict the future.

    The issue is “people dont want conscription” the answer is “make sure conscripts wont be abused for pointless wars”. Most people would be willing to defend their homes by force without a second thought.

    Just because there hasnt been a fire in your neighbourhood in the last 50 years, do you not buy insurance when you buy a house?

      Why did you bring up other wars if history cannot predict the future? Here is your last comment to refresh your memory.

      Uuuhm what do you think Canada was doing in Afghanistan or Libya or Iraq. And dont tell me “war on terror” or “liberation” because thats not even funny anymore at this point.

      If you just want to derail the thread with off topic references, and aren’t willing to speak on the actual history of Canadian conscription policies or discuss the article, don’t bother responding to me.
