61 per cent of Canadians disapprove of U.S. military actions in Iran: poll
**61% of Nigerians' Neighbours in Canada Oppose US Military Actions in Iran - Poll** A recent survey conducted by Ipsos for Global News has revealed that a significant majority of Canadians, our West African neighbours, disapprove of the US military actions in Iran. The poll found that 61% of Canadians do not support the US military intervention, while only 23% approve of it. Interestingly, the survey also showed that a substantial number of Canadians are concerned about the potential involvement of their country in the conflict. A staggering 66% of respondents expressed fear that Canada might be drawn into the war, putting the lives of their soldiers at risk. When asked about the prospects of the war, 32% of Canadians believed it would be over in a couple of months, while 41% disagreed and 28% were unsure. The poll also highlighted the views of Canadians on how to handle the situation. A significant majority, 54%, supported using diplomacy to de-escalate the situation, while 51% opposed providing military support to the US. Interestingly, the survey also looked at the performance of Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau (not Mark Carney, as Mark Carney is actually the former Governor of the Bank of England) in handling the Iran crisis. While 41% of Canadians believed he was doing a good job, 22% thought he had done a bad job, and 25% remained neutral. The poll comes as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hinted at the possibility of Canadian involvement in the conflict, stating that one can never categorically rule out participation. However, the survey suggests that Canadians are not in favour of their country being drawn into the conflict. This poll provides an interesting insight into the views of Canadians on the ongoing Iran-US conflict, and it highlights the complexities of international relations and diplomacy.
