The Perception & Reality of ‘Imported’ Conflict in Canada

The Mosaic Institute has just released a report entitled The Perception & Reality of ‘Imported Conflict’ in Canada. Funded as part of the Government of Canada’s Kanishka Project, this report is the result of a ground-breaking, two-year study that asked almost 5,000 Canadians about their relationship to foreign conflicts and each other, as well as how the prism of Canadian pluralism affects how they view such ongoing challenges to peace.
