The effort to impose conscription there was very unpopular and nearly tore the country apart. It did tear the Liberal party apart from a while. So when WWII came around, the government said that only volunteers would serve overseas. No conscription. And they never did impose it.

Dreylad posted:Yesterday for the Liberals, a pop procedural test meant winning a vote by the skin of their teeth. The Conservatives and NDP joined forces to force a vote while too many Liberals were away from the House, leaving Speaker Geoff Regan cast the tie-breaking vote on a 139-139 count — for just the 11th time in Canadian history. An important part of this story: http://ipolitics.ca/2016/05/16/liberals-caught-short-on-key-bill-speaker-casts-rare-tie-breaking-vote/ Is that Doug Eyolfson, a Liberal MP from Winnipeg, had opposed the bill in question based on the fact that Trudeau made a point of saying that representing constituents was more important than toeing the party line and that it has the potential to gently caress over people in his constituency (which has the Winnipeg airport within it). Eyolfson also went on a media tear to congratulate himself and the PM for letting this happen. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wherry-eyolfson-vote-1.3556033 Liberal MP Doug Eyolfson says voters were skeptical last year when he claimed a Liberal government would allow its backbenchers greater freedom to vote as they saw fit. "A lot of people said, 'I'll believe it when I see it,'" he says. "So now I can look people right in the eye and say, 'Believe it.'" [...] "The prime minister had made it clear from the first day that as MPs, our first responsibility is to our constituents" - Eyolfson Yesterday when push came to shove and his opposition actually meant something, he backed down and blamed the NDP and PCs. While I understand that the PCs and NDP were definitely participating in gaming the system (by taking advantage of the Liberals being stupid as gently caress), maybe next time he might want to hesitate for just a moment before congratulating himself so much for his parliamentary bravery because he's likely to just fold if it actually means anything.

Transit ridership is down 5% in Calgary, so what does the city do, make it easier for people to access transit? More stops, later on fri/sat? Nah, we'll just increase user fees at the park and ride stations, because creating an even bigger barrier to transit use is obviously the answer

Social media is terrible right now, gently caress. When is it not though? " You know I'm actually tired of people telling everyone what they should be ok with and what to accept and not to accept, so your telling me that 10 years ago or even 5 it was ok to think this is not right but if you think that today your a bigot? I'm personally ok with a girl walking into my washroom lol but maybe I'm stubborn but I don't like how people are forcing things on us. I'm ok for gay rights but if I wasn't that's ok as well. As for these bathrooms lets not get to crazy, it's only a couple hippie places that have it. No one is going to get raped." "Forcing me to not be a piece of poo poo"
