- Caused lots of violence and controversy. -Discriminated religions such as pacifists ad cultures such at immigrant Germans/ "enemy aliens". -Created anoher ussie between the french Canadiand and English Canadians when the french was already outrages over the fact that french was not being taught in schools outside of Quebec. - Caused lots of problems with farms and their production which was very important because these farms supplied food for the army and citizens. - Had somewhat ruined Canada's reputation as a free countrey buy taking away the rights of the men who were unfairly enlisted into the army. |
