Résumé

This study seeks to understand the perceptions and the reality of the prevalence, persistence, and effects of "imported conflict" in Canada. The study is funded by Public Safety Canada’s Kanishka Project, which is concerned to study terrorism, counter-terrorism, and the root causes of violent extremism. The study set out to specifically examine Canadians’ preconceptions and concerns about "imported conflict," and how, if at all, "imported conflict" undermines social cohesion among Canadians in ways that could lead to violence in Canada. The study also seeks to understand how Canadians who come from conflict-afflicted regions think about the conflicts to which they have close connection and respond to them now that they are in Canada.
