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.
