Why was World War 1 considered a bad war in Canada?
No--quite the opposite. Canada proved itself as a nation, not just a colony of the British Empire (although it remained a loyal part of the empire). Canadian troops fought under the Union Jack at the beginning of the war, but as time went on, all-Canadian units and regiments were formed and became much valued contributors on the battlefronts. This culminated with the capture of Vimy Ridge in April 1917. This was a hill in France that was extremely important from a strategic point of view, and the British forces (and their allies) had been unable to capture it. The Canadian army was able to accomplish it, and begin the turning of the tide--although there would be no real victor in that first world war. At home, there was controversy over the issue of Conscription--whether the government could force young men to join the Army (not unlike the U.S. Draft). English Canadians (i.e. outside of Quebec) generally favoured the concept--believing in fighting for the Empire--whereas French Canadians generally opposed it. It really became a non-issue, since the war ended not long after the election where it was an issue.
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.

How did the conscription issue split Canada?
The Conscription issue split Canada by separating different groups. Farmers didn't want their sons/hired men to join the army, because they wouldn't have enough workers. Industrial workers also opposed conscription. Opposition in Quebec was the strongest, however. The predominantly English-speaking population felt that it was their duty to fight in the war, and condemned the French-Canadians, portraying them as a 'foul blot' on the country. Tensions were high, and there were many violent demonstrations. A historian described the following election: "More than any other single event, it split Canada into two nations... . The effects of that Khaki Election continue to haunt us today."
