in all honesty i really really dont think this bill will pass.
theres a reason conscription laws and drafting laws were changed - people as a whole became more knowledgable on the gov'ts activities. i remember when the towers got bombed and everyone was saying the same shit "everyone in both countries are going to be drafted" canada didnt even fucking fight. both my cousins are under 30, they both did a little time with the military, NEITHER got drafted. they are the extreme bottom of the list the gov't had for troops, and quite frankly if they havent even been contacted yet, i really dont think they will be. when everything was going down in afghanastan i remember being scared - thinking "oh my god, theres a war happening... whats going to happen?" thousands of innocent people died, the story is awful, but the war has mostly ended. this "war on iraq" will continue until the states realizes that they dont own the fucking world and all of its resources. watch the presidentail debate today - take heart in the fact that mr.carry (sp) is wupping georges' ass. americans are not stupid, they are seeing who george is, the majority do NOT want this supposed "war on iraq" also i agree that being in the military is not a brain washing event. this is not 1940 anymore. |

Ashes: Thanks for posting this, it's good to see people caring about human rights.
mapleleaf4ever: You go die for your flag if you want pal...I'll go buy mine at K-mart...patriotism is a faith mechanism, just like religion, for those who lack faith in themselves. *** You don't have to be a psychic to know that the war on terrorism will just increase terrorism world wide to inevitably lead up to a New World Order. A draft is a sure sign of a facist government, a police state. I knew about this draft for about 2 years now, click the link on the bottom of this post and see for yourself. Maybe you should ask yourself how I've known for so long, or maybe you want to go back to reality and keep watching the price is right. For those that don't think Canada will be involved, our economy is 70% owned by U.S. interests. If they go, we will eventually follow suit, you can count on it! I will bet $1,000 even on that claim...anyone who can care to disprove me must be hella goy, or I've mistaken Canada for Sweden. *** "I think the general vibe here from those that would appose a draft is simple, because war begets war. By the way there are talks of a US draft for July 2005 so this may one day be a question we will all have to face for real. If you wanna pick up a gun please do so at home if some one is trying to break into your house or is attacking you first "personally" (read "not invading your country, but in your face"). If you don't, you are most likely fighting someone elses fight and causing suffering." http://www.fnk.ca/board/showthread.p...2&page=3&pp=25 |

my last peice of mind on the subject:
george barely got voted in last election. he is not going to win this time. with george out, i highly doubt the "war" will continue. people as a whole are pretty fucking strong and can make a difference. do you really think that two entire nations of people are just going to sit back and let the gov't conscript\draft everyone of age? NO. if people get pissed off they do something. in highschool my friends and i were pissed that we had no sports, no after school help, nothing because of the strike. we took action. organized a district student walk out, went to the local mp's office and protested. brought in the news, and we were heard. the politicians and the teachers were forced to make statements. the ball was pushed and rolling down hill. all this done by A BUNCH OF HIGHSCHOOL STUDENTS. dont think that there are very few enlightened people such as yourself who care about politics and society on whole, dont think you're the onyl people going to take action. and defintely do not assume that our countries are full of uneducated ignorant people. they wont stand for it, and will do something about it. |

Let's for a moment not give a shit about what color her sunglasses are or the semantics of "The Canada" versus "Canada"
The point is that there is a military draft being put on the table and this is a huge watershed. Bush recently said that the "War on Terrorism" was unwinnable. And believe me, no statesman, no matter how stupid, makes a claim like that unintentionally. That's basically telling people to expect no visible progress (i.e. catching Bin Laden) because keeping the terrorists in play is more important than defeating them. Inventing a fictitious enemy is the easiest way to mobilize the people and seize power (refer to Reichstag Fire). Quote:
Anywho, Canada will most definately follow the US I think unless more people wake up from their little patriotic reverie and realize that the "War on Terrorism" is infact desperate bid to secure the world's last resources and other aims. It's just so shitty that this has to happen in our lifetime's eh? fuck. |

Umm, I had a look at that bill.
It said "January 7, 2003" It has most certainly been introduced and defeated by now. It was probably one of those 'statement' draft bills some of the democrats introduced to try and make a point. Not to say Bush isnt going to try and bring the draft in - I think he is (US military overextension has already lead to the stop loss polices, the retrenchment of US forces who used to be stationed in europe, and the possibility of a lift on the US military female combat ban) but that isnt the bill thats going to do it. You've been suckered. |
