More than half of Canadians view the military as “old and antiquated,” poll finds

More than half of Canadians (56 per cent) see the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as “old and antiquated,” according to a recent Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News.

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and internet survey found only one in five Canadians saw the CAF as a modern institution, with 29 per cent saying it’s outdated.

Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker says most respondents to its poll, conducted in June, said there is a way to shift this perspective:

“The solution to that, Canadians tell us, is probably giving them more money. And if they could just find their way through, what Canadians see as incompetence and political interference … Canadians feel that they could get there. But at the moment, definitely not there,” Bricker told Global News.
