Conservative Party U.K. PM Rishi Sunak is firm that if he's elected to serve as prime minister following the July 4 British election that national service (in U.K. Military or civilian organizations) will be mandatory for all on reaching their18th birthday. Would this work in Canada and, as we asked last Sunday, should Pierre Poilievre introduce as part of his election campaign? Today the word from Britain. 

Also: Sunak's commitment to deport refugee claimants who crossed the English Channel by boat through already chartered flights to Uganda was formally passed by the British government.
