The research gauged the opinions among Canadians to gauge their perceptions and attitudes towards defence and security issues.
Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1529 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between October 19 and November 2, 2025. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online. The results were statistically checked and weighted by age and gender using the latest Census information and the sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Canada.
Individuals were randomly called using random digit dialing with a maximum of five call backs.
The margin of error for a random survey of 1529 Canadians is ±2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The research was commissioned by the University of Calgary and was conducted by Nanos Research.
