Scott Stirrett: The time has come for mandatory national service for young Canadians

Last month’s British election catalyzed a debate about the advantages and drawbacks of a policy of national service for young people. In particular, the British Conservative Party proposed twelve months of mandatory service for 18-year-old Britons in the military or other public institutions. A previous Hub article in favour of compulsory service provoked a similar debate.

Not sure that providing military training for imported 5th Columnists is such a great idea.
