Toronto, ONTARIO – According to an Ipsos-Reid/Globe and Mail/CTV poll released today, two-thirds (66%) of Canadians support the combat role for Canadian troops being deployed to Afghanistan given the circumstances. The remaining one-third (33%) say they oppose the current mission because Canadian soldiers will not be used in the traditional peacekeeping role played during past conflicts.
