A lot of opinion over the fact that Canada, in its entire history, has only used conscription twice and it was for two major conflicts

I never claimed otherwise.

The arguments you are attempting to make are moot when considering this very big fact

Not really. It has nothing to do with how many times Canada has used conscription.

If it is hard to imagine a war Canada would be fighting to defend itself worry not because the arctic is thawing and a few countries are salivating over it.

I imagine if a straight up war of conquest over Canada’s north happened, more Canadian’s would be willing to help with that and conscription would probably be unnecessary. That highly depends on our feelings of national unity, which to me seem to be at an all time low (in my lifetime). I feel that any attempt by the federal government to introduce compulsory military service would be disastrous as there’s high tensions when it comes to the prairie provinces and Quebec. Why would they consent to their peoples being forced to fight and die for a united Canada when they don’t feel like Canada should be united?

I don’t know how they would plan to address this, but I feel Canada would need a large reason to be unified if they were to introduce conscription, and the current climate isn’t it.

Ehh. IMO WWI was just a war between declining empires. Not like we were fighting for anything but Britain in that one. At least WWII has the excuse of fighting fascism, but in my opinion that’s a sort of post facto justification considering how friendly the US and UK was with right wing ideals before the war.

Would I fight a war against fascism? Yeah. Would I fight a war to make Danielle Smith, her oil companies (I am Albertan so this is the first thing that I thought up, but it applies to capital-serving govt in general), and the ruling class richer? Nah.

It’s hard for me to imagine a war that Canada would be engaged in that wouldn’t be just to save the US’s declining influence, but I imagine that some Canadians would support conscription if there was a proper justification that wasn’t “save the US empire” or “make more money for oil companies”.

At least that’s my opinion.

I miss 9 every day 😭

It’s so incredible to me that we can see this 1000 years later. That’s so long I can hardly fathom it!

call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs

Libs have been saying that for decades and look at the rise of bigoted beliefs all over the world right now. Seems that’s not the way to go; if you tolerate intolerance then intolerance will win every time.

It seems directly related to me. If the US government is fine with slave labour at home, then this decision is really only because the companies sanctioned are Chinese.

I had a guy tell me the US doesn’t meddle in Central or South America anymore. 🤔

This is an awful and harmful point of view.

USA doesn’t control the source of the problem, which are random-ass civil wars that occur in Central America or South America.

Interesting, if largely incorrect opinion.

It’s really unfortunate. Wonder if there will be a workaround or if that’s even possible. I’m not keeping a windows boot just for League of Legends tbh

In Factorio the player is the tanks. We’re the baddies in that game

Are we the baddies?
