This survey gauged the views of Canadians on NATO being a strong military deterrent force without the United States if it decided to scale back its participation as a NATO ally.
Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,003 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between May 3rd and 6th, 2026, as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online. The sample included both land- and cell-lines across Canada. 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 randomly called using random digit dialing with a maximum of five call backs. The margin of error for this survey is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
This study was commissioned by CTV News, and the research was conducted by Nanos Research.
