    Roughly 1/4 Canadians have an unfavourable view of NATO, while about 2/3 view it favourably.

    Honestly, 1/4 for a topic that gets discussed basically never is pretty decent IMO.

    That's just Quebec we're kinda based.

    One of my neighbors is anti NATO, and my classmates were as well. I still remember them talking about the war in Ukraine and Plaestine, but it was at the time I didn't know about these conflicts.

      Québec. Based. lmao

      Québec is just as reactionary as the rest of Canada, but their sovereignty movement happens to align with good causes once in a blue moon because Canada's foreign policy is awful.

        That's why I said kinda. I expected that I would have to hide my anti imperialist views, but shockingly a of people agreed. I still watch out tho, because a lot of them are reactionary.

        One of my teacher is for Quebec's sovereignty and giving indigenous people back their land. They're not a communist, though.

        Have you heard about the FLQ? Apparently, they tried to get sovereignty (and socialism, but it's rarely mentioned) by kidnapping 2 important people.

          Yeah the FLQ was mildly popular at the time too. Imagine a world where a socialist Quebec seceded...

    Many Canadians support NATO.

    Also, who would benefit from Canada leaving NATO?

      The whole world would benefit from NATO being torn into a thousand pieces and thrown to the wind

      Everybody in Canada would benefit if the resources Canada devotes to NATO could be redirected to actually improve lives of people who live in Canada. Should be pretty obvious.
