I never claimed otherwise.

I never said you did, nor am I here to argue with you about this.

The point was the commenter, who isn't you, brought up wars that have nothing to do with conscription. Which is why I brought up WW1 and WW2 in the first place.

Similarly, if conscription did take place on a gender-neutral basis for both men and women, 50 per cent of Canadians would oppose it. With the exact reverse also holding true, a large percentage of Canadians may potentially support conscription if the right scenario arose.

The topic is conscription and if Canadians support it.The survey and article states a 50/50 split on Gender neutral conscription, and support if the right situation arose. We aren't talking about if shit goes down would conscription even be necessary, and we are not talking about how unified Canada is or isn't

Stay on point if you wish to continue speaking to me please.
