Results: Majority of Canadians don't want Ottawa to bring back detained ISIS fighters: Ipsos poll!
Published on 10/19/2019
A clear majority of Canadians do not want the government to do anything to bring back ISIS fighters detained abroad.
In a poll conducted exclusively for Global News, Ipsos asked respondents whether they supported the position that “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, and that Canada should do what it can to bring Canadian nationals home to Canada, even if they’ve been fighting for ISIS.”
Only 29 per cent agreed with the statement.
In contrast, 71 per cent said “we should not do anything to help bring these Canadians back to Canada.”
