Propaganda Posters - Canada
Updated - Saturday, 10 April, 2004
As with Australia, Canada entered the First World War along with Britain in August 1914. Again, Canada did not have in place a policy of conscription - although this was (controversially) changed in time by Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden - and recruitment posters were prominent in stimulating military enlistment.
