Decent article but senseless headline. Nobody ever positioned mandatory service as a method to make Canadians love their country...

As an American this is depressing, Canada was always me mental escape hatch. “Well I’ll just move to Canada if shit gets to bad here”
Which I know is hella reductive and not nearly as simple as it sounds, but who needs logic
Outside of gun control and health care, Canada is USA minus a few years. The same stupid cultural shit happens here too just a bit later

Nobody is seriously talking about mandatory service in Canada are they? The draft and conscription have been political suicide in Canada for basically the country's entire history as an independent nation. To my knowledge, the only countries where national service has any political traction are countries with a threatening neighbour right on their doorstep like Korea and Israel
Poilievre is I think.
Then he can be the first one to be conscripted.
What a waste of skin.
