The research gauged the views of Canadians on nuclear weapons, namely on their level of support for signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), Canada’s preparedness to deal with a nuclear weapon detonation, and their views on eliminating nuclear weapons.
Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1099 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, from March 31 to April 4, 2026 as part of an omnibus survey. 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.
The margin of error for this survey is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
This study was commissioned by International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) Canada and the research was conducted by Nanos Research.
