No, although some people have stated that they had, research showed that young men stood in line for hours to volunteer and sign up. Thank God that they did, so many of those men gave their lives to help liberate Europe especially in Holland where they are honoured every year. God bless every one of them!!

During World War II, conscription was a controversial and somewhat divisive step taken by the Canadian government in 1944; however, it did not adversely affect Canada's economy, which experienced a general "boom" as a result of the war. For one thing, the actual conscription enforced on Canada's population was quite small; it also occurred only during the last year of the war. For another, Canadian women (similar to women throughout the western nations) became more active in the work-force as a result of the war-time pressures.
There are many cons, for one, trying to pass conscription laws was very hard and caused stress for Canada's leaders at the time.
Germany had conscription during WW1, but the Paris Peace Treaty forbid it. Later it was returned and is still used today. In Canada the people didn't like conscription adn the government said they wouldn't use it unless it was aposutly nessassary.
It is conscription (or drafting).
