The issue was dealt with differently in 1917 under the direction of Sir Robert Borden than it was during WWII under the direction of William Lion Mackenzie King. Though both times ended with the law of conscription being passed, Mackenzie King is credited with handling the matter better than Borden. In 1917, Borden visited troops and was taken aback to learn about the amount of dead and wounded. He was requested to dispatch more troops as soon as he could because volunteer enlistments weren’t keeping pace with the number of men being killed and wounded overseas. Borden knew the war could not be won without reinforcements and so he decided to pass the conscription bill.
As well, the government did not track Natives from Newfoundland and Labrador because they were not part of Canada at the time. Nonetheless, it is safe to say that about 4,000 Native Canadians participated in the First World War, many serving with distinction. In all, more than 50 decorations were awarded to Native fighters for their contributions to the war. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Elders and Indian soldiers Members of the File Hills Indian Colony joined the 68th Battalion (Regina).

Another “face” of Canada during WW2 Throughout World War II, Canada had done amazing things in the war and also done some unacceptable things to others. Canada shouldn’t be proud of what it did during WW2. Firstly, the conscription which they forced people to join the war. Secondly, how Canada treat the Japanese Canadian badly. Thirdly, how Canada refuses to help.
The war is in full swing now, and Canadian soldiers are being shipped off as soon as you can say “accepted!” The trouble is that the army is quickly running out of young men to fight. The remaining men are too old, married, have health problems, or are of a different ethnic background. It isn’t a matter of whether or not Canada has enough men, but to the government, it’s the fact that Canada doesn’t have enough white men.

There was a massive police and military presence, but the meeting was peaceful, with a crowd estimated by some at 150,000. The petition was defeated heavily. Chartism was a mass movement that attracted a following of millions.
The Separatist Movement in Canada By: Nick Pait 11-20-11 Mrs. Stroup The separatist movement in Canada has been going on for more than thirty years. The movement was started by French-speaking citizens of Quebec. These people felt like they should be a separate country instead of a province of Canada because of the cultural differences that exist between them and other Canadian citizens. These citizens continue to feel that decisions made in Canada will always favor the English-Canadians because they represent the majority of the nation’s people. Although many remain very determined to establish Quebec as a separate country, I do not think they will

The AIF- Australia Imperial Force was made up of entirely volunteers and as more Australians gradually discover the fatal, dreadful conditions at war, their enthusiasm fell, and it became apparent that Australia was short on military fighting capacity. Despite a resolute campaign from the government, enlistment continued to decrease. Soldiers at War were left helpless as pessimism increases.
