56 per cent of Canadians view the Canadian Armed Forces as “old and antiquated”

“The findings are in line with polling the defence department conducted between Dec. 19, 2022 and Jan. 15, 2023. That phone and internet survey found only one in five Canadians saw the CAF as a modern institution, with 29 per cent saying it’s outdated,” reports Global News.

Most Canadians told Ipsos Global Public Affairs pollsters “their concerns about defending Canada are directly related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (71 per cent) and China’s recent actions in the Taiwan Strait (69 per cent).”
