That won't be happening for a while yet, if it ever does. Things have to get really, really bad before the average person will agree that a justified conflict is better for them than an unjust peace. We're not at that point yet—most people in Canada are still mostly squeaking by (although the current economic situation isn't really sustainable), and a given citizen's chances of dying by random violence are still pretty low. Maybe 5-10 years from now, if wages don't rise enough to ease the strain on food banks and other charities, we might see a general strike.
