Two minds on missile defense

The National Post reports that Canadians are confused about missile defense - no surprise considering no one in this country has been willing to advocate for it.

• 54% oppose participating in US version, but...
• 56% say Canada should help protect North America against missiles

"They oppose it in practice and support it in principle...They oppose participation in missile defence but when you give them the arguments in favour of it, they embrace them."

Oh, and 31% of Quebeccers don't think Canada should even have a military. "What you have is a very strongly ingrained pacifist strain in Quebec and a very different opinion in the rest of the country"
