This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone Canadians have given the Trudeau government a green light on this Syrian refugee crisis, said pollster Nik Nanos. The poll of 1,000 Canadians found that 68 per cent support or somewhat support the government overall response to the Syrian refugee crisis, while 30 per cent oppose or somewhat oppose it. The one thing that they are concerned about is whether we have the necessary resources to resettle these refugees in our communities. On the other hand, 33 per cent agreed or somewhat agreed. When asked if communities have all of the resources they need, such as housing, language training or social services, to resettle Syrian refugees, 61 per cent of Canadians disagreed or somewhat disagreed.
