Un petit nombre de Canadiens s'opposaient vigoureusement à la guerre, en dépit des pressions intenses dans la plupart des régions anglophones du pays, qui l'appuyaient sans réserves. Le mouvement pour le droit de vote pour les femmes, les syndicats, les organisations agricoles et les groupes socialistes étaient bien représentés parmi les activistes de la paix. 3, record 2, French, - militant%20pour%20la%20paix
