Should every 18 year old citizen be required to provide at least one year of military service?

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

Yes

Yes, and it should be at least two years of service

Yes, but with less focus on military training and more focus on education and skill development

Yes, but only for those who are starting to build a criminal record

Yes, but only for those who do not pursue further education or employment

First send all politicians who want to vote on this topic to minimum one year of military service that only includes active duty beyond our borders. Once a full 338 mps have done that and are currently elected than they could decide what's best on this issue.

Every citizen should be required to live and work in a third-world country for at least one year

Three years service to give the Molly coddled youth of today some back bone, discipline, patriotism, moral compass and respect. One year is not enough for today's generation.

time to make men 0ut of our privileged, entitled youth. maybe, just maybe, they would think twice of doing crime. If this were an alternative instead of jail, maybe they could grow to be productive citizens in society. please consider productive discipline for those who are lost in society. jail is an invitation to free housing, meals, health care, education and God knows what other privileges. our veterans get what? shameful how the treatment of those who protect our country are forgotten. got this in reverse folks. shouldn't have to have this pointed out if you're doing your job right.

NO - but offer free post-secondary education for military service.

You want to collect welfare?, then mandatory 1 year in military service, earn your paycheck, or you get nothing

Yes, for dropouts and those not pursuing higher education or trade training.

Immigrants should be serving time up to 3 years in the military to obtain citizenship. Other wise further education and or skilled trade would also be a benefit

Required for men but optional for women

I think 18-year-olds should contribute one year of service to their country, but not just through a military service. There should be options such as internships in international and inter-provincial gov't service, building houses for orgs such as Habitat for Humanity, or in the peace corps building wells and solar energy hubs, anything that contributes to the well-being of our society.

Only for males not attending higher education

Yes, but it should be one year of military service, volunteer work or service to the government for the benefit of the people

No, but every 18 year old should be obliged to provide one year of public service which may include the military

It varies depending on where you are/given time context. It's maybe not a priority for Canadians now, because we aren't really in a conflict with other nations. But in South Korea, Ukraine, Israel as well as Finland? They need it to survive as a nation as they have aggressive neighbours around them that threaten their existence.

I think the military is a disgusting way for humans to behave!

Yes and no military support jobs should be required along with greater first hand eduction of what our military does for us

Potentially, but not necessarily just the military, consider first responders such as paramedics, police and fire services

Military Service should be semi mandatory. If by the age of 27 you are not earning above 50K, i believe you should at-least try military, if not you should handle your life.

Yes, but only if we are actively at war.

Would have to be more than a year to be of any sufficiency.

Yes. But not military only. 1 year of serving the country in othercways. Like helping communities programs

Only in times where war looks inevitable.

Yes, but only when we absolutely need it

Yes I think that it should be a requirement for all Canadian's at the age of 18

Yes, with an option to serve in a non-military civil service role.

Service should be a choice instead of an obligation. Though I realize that this is not always possible depending on where you live in the world (South Korea, Finland, etc.)

No, service should be a choice instead of an obligation. But, I realize that I am in a privileged position to be able to say that. It's not uncommon for many young men in regions of the world such as Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Finland) the Middle East (Israel) and Southeast Asia (South Korea) to have mandatory military service as part of being a citizen, but I hope it never comes to the point where Canada-US relations become that strained and adversarial.

No, but keep military service as long as it's not mandatory.

Yes, but only because the country is currently in a complicated geopolitical situation

Yes, they should be required to provide at least 2 years, but only in the reserves, which includes mandatory boot camp and training.

Yes, but also include First Responder as an alternative to military service

No, but all mentally and physically fit and capable should be required to join.

Service should be a choice instead of an obligation, and I'm lucky to say this as I know that in countries like Finland and South Korea, it's mandatory for everyone to serve in the military.

Citizens should be required to provide service in some form, but not required military service.

Yes, only men should be required

Oui mais un service militaire rémunéré

There should be two years of mandatory service or 4 years and immunity to the draft or further conscription.

No, every citizen should be armed and receive training however.

Yes but make combat roles optional

No, not every civilian should have to serve in the military. I realize that I am privileged saying this, as many countries such as Finland and South Korea require it, to defend against Russia and North Korea. But in an ideal world, service should be a choice instead of an obligation.
