Democracy
Conscription during 1917 played a huge role in Canada's identity. Many people said that Canada is not a democratic nation because we were forcing men to fight for war. If we had conscription today, we wouldn't be known as a democratic nation as our government is making citizens fight for something that they might not believe in.
Our relationship with French Canadians
French Canadians were against conscription because they were not loyal to Britain and they felt excluded from Canada. They did not have a good relationship with the English Canadians. If we still had conscription, we still would not have a well constructed relationship with the English Canadians and it's possible that Quebec could separate from Canada as well.
Military
Borden needed more men in the army because injured and sick soldiers still had to fight which is why he needed to conscript men. If we had conscription today, our military would be larger with all the men because every man in Canada has to fight for war.

Importance
Conscription has had a great impact on the history timeline. Canada implemented conscription twice in its history, which serves as clues to how future Canadian policy might be implemented. Conscription has helped replenish our forces in times of proportional war, and has printed its footprint on present time.
In today's time of peace, economic prosperity and new innovations, remembrance must be given to those who looked into the future and saw Canada's exponential growth potential and paid the ultimate price. Conscription provided the foundation for today's skyscraper economy. It insured the security of the nation which empowers us today to better ourselves. The forces of Canada has created an environment of greatness. What are you doing with today's changing environment.
