The volunteers of the Canadian military are dyingout overseas, and no reinforcements were presented. The Canadians felt that the war was taking up too many lives,and the French-Canadians only made up of 5% of the 4 divisions of volunteers while they made up 28% of the population. So the idea of Imperialism still stayed with them, the thought that all Dominions and colonies of G.B. must help with the war. Borden went to England and decided to pass the Military Service Act that all decisions to send troops overseas or conscription is decided by the Prime Minister. And in between there was a very rough period in which the liberals and conservatives had a fight and Borden formed a new party. - Grade 10 student

How was the conscription crisis solved?

This exerpt comes from Wikipedia under the heading of The Conscription Crisis of 1944. There was a conscription crisis in World War 1 too.*****The Conscription Crisis of 1944 was a political and military crisis following the introduction of forced military service in Canada during World War II. It was similar to the Conscription Crisis of 1917, but was not as politically damaging. Because conscription was declared late in the war, only 2463 conscripted men reached the front lines. Out of these, 79 lost their lives.****So of the men who were drafted in 1944 to fulfill the needs for more troops most remained on the home front. You can see by the excerpt above that very few went to the front lines. It took 9 men to support and supply 1 warrior on the fighting front. So the drafted men ended up being in support and some were trained to fight but the war ended soon after they were ready to fight the Nazis.

Why Conscription crisis?

The Conscription Crisis of 1917 in Canada arose during World War I when the government introduced mandatory military service to address dwindling volunteer numbers. This decision sparked intense political and social conflict, particularly between English-speaking Canadians, who largely supported conscription, and French-speaking Canadians, who opposed it due to a sense of alienation and differing national loyalties. The crisis deepened divisions within Canadian society and had lasting effects on national unity, ultimately influencing political dynamics and responses to future military conflicts.
