Most Canadians say citizens who stay in high-risk conflict zones don’t deserve government protection: poll

As Ottawa continues to airlift hundreds of Canadians out of Lebanon this weekend, a new Leger survey shows slightly more than half of Canadians (52 per cent) think Canada does not owe protection to citizens who decide to stay in conflict zones despite warnings to leave.

According to the survey, only a third (34 per cent) think the federal government has a responsibility to protect and evacuate its citizens.


There are Canadians and then there are Canadians of convenience – foreigners who have obtained citizenship as insurance.

This farce is becoming generational. How many times do we have to evacuate the same “Canadians” from Lebanon or their “Canadian” offspring?
