U.S. Intervention and Control in Venezuela Survey Report

This report presents the findings of an online survey conducted among Canadians and Americans regarding their perceptions of U.S. involvement in Venezuela. The survey, conducted from January 9 to January 11, 2025, included a total of 2,551 respondents, with 1,540 Canadians and 1,011 Americans. The methodology involved random recruitment and offered respondents the option to complete the survey in either French or English. Results were weighted to ensure representative samples for both populations. Key findings indicate that two-thirds of Canadians and Americans are following developments in Venezuela, with Canadians expressing greater concern about U.S. military actions affecting their perception of the U.S. government. The report highlights significant differences in opinions between Canadians and Americans regarding the justification of U.S. intervention, with Canadians more likely to view it as a violation of sovereignty. Additionally, the report notes that perceptions of U.S. motives, particularly regarding oil control, are more pronounced among Canadians than Americans.
