Canadians say while they sympathize with Ukraine and believe Parliament should do everything possible to stop Russia’s invasion, they do not wish to see Canada involved in direct military intervention, according to an internal poll conducted for the federal government.
“While participants reiterated a desire for Canada to assist in any way it could most remained hesitant about the Canadian Armed Forces or NATO taking a more direct role in defending Ukraine, expressing concern this could escalate the conflict further and potentially put Canadian lives at risk,” said a Privy Council Office report, titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.”
