Canadians prefer more debt over higher taxes to finance increased military spending, poll finds

July 15, 2025

Canadians would rather have an increase to the national debt than personal income tax hikes to pay for more ambitious military commitments made by the federal government, new polling says.

The Nanos Research survey conducted for The Globe and Mail found nearly half of Canadians surveyed support the debt option, with 49 per cent either supporting or somewhat supporting it.
