My name is Julia Watson and I am a citizen of Canada. My husband and I have been living here for 10 years. We got the news that Britain is in need for our help in the cold war against Germany. Canada does not have many people in the army. Injured and sick soldiers are still doing their duty due to the lack of soldiers. The more soldiers we have, the more likely we can succeed into defeating kaiser. Borden is allowing us to vote for whether we want conscription.
Although I am worried for my husband's safety if he goes to war, this would be a great opportunity for me and other women to the get equal rights that men have in this country. Men are allowed to vote and work for money, while women cannot. The money that my husband is making is not enough to support ourselves and our two girls. While the men go to war, we can stay and handle the home front by working and doing the jobs that the men do. If we succeed, that means we can handle it and they can give us the equal rights we deserve. It angers me that people think women cannot work hard. I am capable of doing factory work if it means that i get paid more to support my family.

This is also a great opportunity for Canada to gain independence from Great Britain after helping them win the Cold war. If Britain does not win, they will become part of the German empire. Our nation cannot prosper without total independence, and becoming a German empire is not any better. I agree with Borden that we should have conscription. If my husband died, and our allies lost because of the lack of men, my husband would have died for nothing. Vote for conscription.
