A few months ago, the PM spoke of sacrifice as Canada realigned around new priorities. The same theme popped up in a Globe and Mail story last week about planning work at Canadian Defence HQ about how to resist, via an insurgency, an American attack. The key line to me in that story was this: 'Conscription has been ruled out for now, but the level of sacrifice that would be asked of Canadians remains a central topic, the officials said.' I’ll bet it does!
