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.

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