Prime Minister Borden felt conscription was needed

There was huge opposition to this in: Quebec. They did not have the same loyalty to France as English Canadians had to Britain. The movement against conscription was led in Quebec by Henri Bourassa

French Canadians were enraged at the discrimination in the armed forces. Defence Minister Sam Hughes would not permit orders to be given in French even to all French units.

Farmers objected as their son’s were need to operate the farms

Industrial workers complained they were need in the factories

British Columbia objectors came from labour unions

Pacifists believed war was inherently immoral and refused to fight

Conscientious objectors are individuals who, on religious, moral or ethical grounds, refuses to participate as a combatant in war

To get conscription Borden passed: 1) The Military Voters Act which allowed soldiers overseas to vote

2) The Wartime Elections Act which allowed female relatives of soldiers to vote

Borden then created a Union Government which combined both Liberals and Conservatives in favour of conscription and called an election in 1917

Borden defeated Laurier in a landslide and introduced the Military Service Act in August 1917 which forced men to join the military.

Conscription Riots followed and French/English relations suffered greatly
