Summary
This report presents the findings from an online survey conducted among Canadians and Americans regarding their opinions on the ongoing war in Iran. The survey involved 1,608 Canadian respondents and 1,006 American respondents, collected between March 13 and March 16, 2026. The methodology employed weighting for age, gender, ethnicity, and other demographics to ensure representative samples. The results indicate that both Canadians and Americans show a similar level of interest in the conflict, although Americans tend to follow it more closely. Significant differences in public opinion emerge, particularly regarding military action, with Canadians largely opposed to U.S. and Israel's involvement, while Americans exhibit more balanced views. The survey also reflects varying national priorities, with Canadians focusing on economic concerns and Americans more worried about security risks. Support for defensive military involvement exists in both countries, but offensive actions receive less backing. The report highlights the implications of the conflict on public sentiment and energy production in Canada.
