John Robson: Canadians unwilling to defend themselves?

To you with failing hands we throw … the stent? Really? Shall Canadians rally round the oxygen monitor and stand by to repel bacteria? So the polls show.

The National Post reports an Angus Reid survey finding that a significant majority of us favour compulsory voluntary service by the youth of today. Which might sound like a bracingly traditional Jordan Peterson clean-your-room, stand-up-straight, shoulders-back attitude until you read the fine print, which would risk making Peterson ill if he weren’t already. Because it turns out we want to conscript them to work in health care so we get stuff we didn’t pay for, not to defend the country because if ye break faith and so on.


Not many people think a 3rd World Dumpster state is worth defending. Funny that.
