OTTAWA — A new survey suggests more Canadians want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to maintain Canada's current level of spending on helping Ukraine fight Russia's ongoing invasion, rather than boosting financial support.
Polling firm Leger recently asked Canadians about their country's presence on the world stage, including Canada's efforts to assist Ukraine defend against Russia, which began its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
According to the results, 45 per cent of respondents said they thought Canada should maintain the same level of spending, compared to 30 per cent who said they thought the federal government ought to decrease it. The results broken down by age category also suggest that at 49 per cent, those aged 55 and older most agreed with Canada maintaining its same level of spending
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has visited Ukraine twice since Russia's February 2022 invasion and as of last month the federal government had committed some $9.5 billion in assistance to the country since then. This includes Trudeau's explosive statement in the House of Commons last month that Canada's national security agencies were investigating"credible allegations" of a"potential link" between India's government and the fatal shooting of a Canadian Sikh leader in British Columbia.
