What this poll asks
- Do you wear a poppy for Remembrance Day?
- How do you usually mark Remembrance Day?
- Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in most provinces and territories, but not in Ontario, Quebec or Manitoba. Should it be a statutory holiday across Canada?
- Overall, how well does Canada treat its veterans?
- Veterans Affairs Canada aims to decide disability benefit claims within 16 weeks, but in 2024 it met that standard for first applications only about half the time. Should Veterans Affairs get more funding and staff to cut wait times?
- Veterans Affairs Canada estimates about 1,800 veterans experience homelessness each year. Should there be housing set aside specifically for homeless veterans?
- Should every veteran be guaranteed timely mental health care, including for PTSD, paid for by the government?
- If more money went to veterans, where should it go first?
- Should veterans get priority when applying for government jobs?
- Do schools teach enough about Canada's military history and veterans?
- In 2025, NATO members agreed to aim to spend 5% of their economy on defence and security by 2035. The federal government says Canada reached the earlier 2% target in 2025. Should Canada spend more on its military?
- The Canadian Armed Forces has struggled to recruit enough members. Would you encourage a young person you know to join?
- Should young Canadians be required to do a year of national service before age 30?
- Have you, or someone in your family, served in the military?
