1917 Conscription Crisis

Topic A: Building One Canadian Economy 
Topic B: Rearming Canada's Military 

Canada stands at a defining moment. An active trade war continues to simmer, new negotiations threaten to reshape the nation’s economic destiny, and urgent calls for bold infrastructure and investment projects demand action. Abroad, shifting diplomatic relationships and deepening commitments to Canada’s armed forces—and to the North Atlantic defence partnership—push the country onto a global stage in crisis. At home, the fragile balance of a minority government makes every decision more high-stakes, every vote more critical.
​
Delegates will step into the shoes of Members of Parliament, tasked with steering Canada through turbulent waters. You will debate Canada’s toughest challenges, defend its people, and craft solutions that could alter the future of the country itself. With a unique blend of Canadian Parliamentary Procedure and the traditions of the Commons, delegates will experience the thrill of negotiation, the drama of politics, and the intensity of decision-making in the legendary green chamber!

 

Note from the Director

Dear Delagates,

My name is Renyi Niu, and I am honoured to serve as your Director for the 1917 Conscription Crisis at CSMUN IV. I am a Grade 11 student at the Bishop Strachan School. Throughout the 4 years I've done ModelUN, I have had the opportunity to compete across Canada and internationally in Singapore and the United States.

I wish you all the best of luck in your preparations. I challenge you to push past the basics in this background guide and critically analyze the systemic drivers behind this historic crisis. Though this is a very intricate topic, I am confident that your collective passion and intellect will yield the amazing resolutions that this committee demands. I am very much looking forward to meeting all of you!

Sincerely,
Renyi Niu
Director, 1917 Conscription Crisis
