Canadians are split on their preference for assigning the financial responsibility of evacuating Canadian citizens currently in Lebanon between the individuals and the Canadian government (37%) or the individuals themselves (36%). Younger Canadians (18-34) (36%) are more likely than older Canadians (55 plus)(14%) to say the Canadian government should be entirely responsible, while older Canadians prefer that the individuals themselves be financially responsible for evacuating (45%, 55 plus).

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,058 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between September 29th to October 2nd, 2024 as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online.
