概要

In 1917, as Canadian soldiers bled at Vimy Ridge and endured the mud of Passchendaele, the war exploded at home.

With First World War casualties mounting and enlistment collapsing, Prime Minister Robert Borden introduced conscription. The result was the Canadian Conscription Crisis of 1917; one of the most divisive moments in our history.

Riots in Quebec City.

English and French Canada set against each other.

Families fractured.

A nation pushed to the brink.

The First World War didn’t just test Canada on the Western Front. It tested whether the country could survive itself.

In this episode of Memory and Valour, we examine how conscription reshaped Canadian politics, unity, and identity and why its echoes still matter today.
