I thought it was the UK Conservative party suggesting that, it’s happening at the same time in Canada too?

According to the article the conservative party in Canada has also suggested it, in order to fix the “hate” young Canadians are starting to have for Canada.

Young Canadians don’t hate Canada; they hate the boneheaded ideas thought up in Parliament and they hate that they’ve been priced out of owning a part of Canada.

If you don’t have a voice or land, and see no hope that you ever will, why would you be happy with how things are?

Such as this bonehead “national service” idea that a few conservative parliamentarians are suggesting?

This idea isn’t one coming from the NDP or Liberals.

This is the first I’ve heard of it, but apparently Canada’s Conservatives are interested. Conservatives always seem to have an ear out for the worst ideas from each other.
