		Québec would never agree to conscription, he believed, and if he joined the pro-conscription coalition French Canada would be delivered into the hands of Henri BOURASSA and his nationalistes.

		Québec's BLOC POPULAIRE continued to fight against conscription by presenting candidates for the Aug 1944 provincial elections and the June 1945 federal elections.

	Conscription Encyclopedia Article on Involuntarily.org
		Conscription is a general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority, but it is most often used in the specific sense of government policies that require citizens (often just males) to serve in their armed forces.
		Conscription certainly imposes on the freedom of the individual and although some conscripts feel that they benefited from the experience others feel that their time could have been spent more productively pursuing their chosen studies or career paths.
		Conscription may inspire camaraderie, unifying a people: all able-bodied males together as a union have had the same experience and are soldiers, and that may create unity and a national spirit.

		Conscription is a component of "total war", and can also be used as an example of established policy to justify a government's demand that other sacrifices be required of civilians.

		As a result of the conscription referendum of 1942 a group of Quebec nationalists had created the third party Bloc Populaire Canadien, pledged to oppose conscription for overseas military service and, more generally, to protect Quebec's rights within Confederation in the face of what it saw as the centralizing pressures of the federal government.
		In the 1944 Senate debate this linkage of history and the War provided the subtext underlying much of what was said, and some Senators made it explicit.
		And once it became clear that Canada had successfully weathered the Conscription Crisis of 1944, and once the War had been won, the concern for national unity receded into the background as Canadians concentrated on enjoying the prosperity of peacetime and coming to terms with the Cold War.

		As Britain’s main ally within the Commonwealth, Canadian troops distinguished themselves through the Battle of Britain, in the North African and Italian campaigns and in the Normandy invasion in 1944.

		It is not only the people of Quebec who are opposed to conscription, but my correspondence satisfies me that in every other province there is amongst the masses an undercurrent [indicating] that they will be sore and bitter if at the present moment a conscription law is forced upon them.
		Remember that from the beginning of the war, though the Prime Minister, the government affirmed and re-affirmed that there would be no conscription; and one of the ministers, Mr.Crothers, if I mistake not, stated with the elegance peculiar to him that any such statement was a "Grit lie".
		To have all of a sudden, without preparation, without a word of warning, launched the policy of conscription was, you will admit, with me, a singular want of foresight on the part of the government.
