Majority of Canadians want Palestine to be recognized as a state

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, 3 in 5 Canadians (57%) believe Canada should recognize Palestine as a state.

While Liberal (70%) and NDP (84%) voters largely support Palestine state-recognition, just 31% of Conservatives say the same.

“A motion filed by the NDP in March for Canada to officially recognize Palestine was passed in the House of Commons after it was amended by the Liberals to say Canada would ‘work with international partners’ to work ‘towards the establishment of the State of Palestine as part of a negotiated two-state solution.'”

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from May 24 to 28, 2024 among a representative randomized sample of 1,603 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum.
