It would be political suicide.
But it would benefit my country - Canada immeasurably since there would undoubtedly be a wave of young talented American men who would say F you and head north like what happened in Vietnam.
There was a show on the CBC a while ago and it traced the lives of many Vietnam Draft Dodgers who came to Canada. It was amazing to see what these guys amounted to. Since most stayed in Canada, the benefit was ours.
So, I say, please, re-establish the draft, it will give us an incredible talent pool of immigrants to pick from. These guys would all be English speaking north Americans with skills.
