National poll finds majority of Canadians are opposed to military conscription if war breaks out

found that most Canadians (57 per cent) are either strongly (35 per cent) or moderately (22 per cent) opposed to military conscription in modern times if only men are to serve.

Similarly, if conscription did take place on a gender-neutral basis for both men and women, 50 per cent of Canadians would oppose it. With the exact reverse also holding true, a large percentage of Canadians may potentially support conscription if the right scenario arose.

Of course if the right situation were to arise, if it's either conscription or Russia somehow takes over Canada who would choose the latter?

According to the headline, and what is attempted to be pushed as the narrative in the article (poorly), the "Majority of Canadians".
