Well it all started when Jacques De'Lante went to his local government office wearing a touque. The heat was on in the office and Jacques was might warm (tres chaud in French). He could take it no more so he removed his touque and insodoing exposed himself to the conscription officer.

Yes, many French Canadians responded to the Mackenzie King government's attempt to impose conscription during World War II by abstaining from voting in the 1942 plebiscite on the issue. This was largely due to their opposition to conscription, stemming from historical grievances and concerns over the government's perceived disregard for their rights and interests. The low turnout and lack of support highlighted the deep divisions between English and French Canadians regarding military service and conscription during the war.

Many French Canadians also opposed conscription in 1917.
In World War II, English Canadians were generally more supportive of conscription compared to their French Canadian counterparts. This support was largely due to their stronger ties to Britain and the belief in the necessity of military service to support the war effort. In contrast, many French Canadians opposed conscription, viewing it as an infringement on their rights and expressing a desire to avoid being drawn into the conflict. This divide contributed to significant tensions within Canadian society during the war.
During World War I, Canadian conscription was a contentious issue, with strong divisions between English-speaking Canadians, who largely supported it, and French-speaking Canadians, who opposed it due to fears of alienation and the belief that it disproportionately affected their communities. In World War II, while conscription was again controversial, the context had shifted; many Canadians accepted it as a necessity, though tensions remained, particularly in Quebec. Overall, conscription highlighted regional, linguistic, and cultural divides within Canada, shaping national identity and political discourse.

Increased tensions between British Canadians and French Canadians were primarily fueled by cultural, linguistic, and political differences. The British government's imposition of English laws and institutions marginalized French-speaking Canadians and threatened their cultural identity. Additionally, the struggle for political representation and rights, particularly during the Confederation process, exacerbated feelings of resentment and division. These tensions were further intensified by economic disparities and differing views on issues such as conscription during World War I.
The conscription crisis during World War I and II profoundly impacted French Canadian identity by intensifying feelings of alienation and resentment towards the federal government. Many French Canadians perceived conscription as an imposition by English-speaking Canadians, leading to a sense of betrayal and a reinforcement of their distinct cultural identity. This crisis fueled nationalist sentiments and demands for greater autonomy, ultimately shaping the political landscape in Quebec and contributing to the rise of movements advocating for French Canadian rights and identity. The legacy of this crisis continues to influence Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada.
"Conscription" exists in French too with the same meaning, but the usual term is "service militaire". Conscription does not exist in France since 2001.
