Nearly 2 in 3 Canadians report believing that Canada should not be part of the American Golden Dome missile shield and instead spend on the capability of Canadian Armed Forces. Under one in five (17%) report believing that Canada should pay the price to be part of the American Golden Dome and one in five (20%) are unsure. Respondents aged 18 to 34 (69%) and those aged 55 and over (65%) are marginally more likely than those aged 35 to 54 (59%) to say that Canada should not be part of the Golden Dome. Men (23%) are more likely than women (12%) to say that Canada should pay the price to be part of the Golden Dome.
