English Politics 19th Century

French-english relations WWI – anyone know about them?

im interested in knowing the opposing feelings in politics, social life, and economics between the french and english of Canada in the 19th century
I understand conscription although what were the wartime tensions that led up to the conflict of conscription. the french english relations were already poor but I was wondering what the reasons for this were… in the political, economic and social areas of the time

a little about both wars as you will see not much change Conscription WWI and WWII
What is conscription? Conscription is when men are forced into military services to train to go oversea’s to fight for their country. Men have no choice in this, and if they refused to conscribe they were arrested, and trailed in a military court on the charges of treason.
World War 1 broke out in 1914 and Canada, as an ally of Great Britain, automatically found itself in the fight. Prime Minister Robert Borden’s intention to send a large number of soldiers aroused furious debate across the country – debate that would result in a real crisis when conscription was carried out in 1917.
-Borden declared that “when Britain is at war, Canada is at war, and there is no difference at all.” The year 1916 was devastating for the Allies and the situation was becoming critical. The French and the British had suffered heavy casualties, mutinies were erupting within the French army, German submarines were wreaking choas and the Russian allies were on the edge of being defeated. A new government came into power in Britain and, determined to win the war, asked the Dominions to send new troops. On the front, the officers of the Canadian Expeditionary were desperate for reinforcements to make up for their losses. Robert Borden, an imperialist, was determined to maintain Canada’s participation, and for him this was the only way for Canada to be considered equal to Great Britain, rather than a merely colony
pointed out that Australia, despite a lower population, had more troops than Canada. But volunteers were becoming harder to find, and when he returned home, Borden was convinced of the importance of establishing a forced conscription system to compensate for losses. He thus passed the Military Service Act. The Military Service act was a law adopted on August 29, 1917 to gather 100,000 men as reinforcements for the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The law, which had a number of exceptions, was applied very sudden. Although 99,561 people were conscripted as a result of the law, only 24,100 soldiers actually fought at the front before the end of the war.
There were many anglophones among the farmers, union heads, and pacifists who opposed the idea, but they had no forums in which to make themselves heard. Francophones were almost unanimous in their opposition. Henri Bourassa, the symbol of Frenc-English nationslism, refused to let the government impose conscription as long as bill 17-(an Ontario government bill passed in 1912, which restricted French instruction in Ontario public schools. The law prompted great resentment among French-speaking populations across the country)-was still in effect in Ontario. Borden pushed through the Military Voters Act and the War-time Elections Act, then called an election
Borden won by just over 100,000 votes and there was protests went on in Quebec and a riot broke out in Quebec City, killing four people. In March 1918, the Germans launched a series of victorious offensives and the Allies had an urgent need for reinforcements. Borden called in his Cabinet in April and, after a furious debate, he eliminated all exemptions. The country emerged deeply divided by this crisis, and the Conservative Party lost its influence in Quebec and in the West.
