In Calgary, 58.1 per cent were in favour of joining the invasion, while in Edmonton, 62.4 per cent of people wanted Canada to stay out of the Iraq conflict.

In recent days, national polls have indicated growing support for the war across Canada, excluding Quebec.

However, in Ottawa, a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Jean Chretien said the polls will not change the federal government's stance of non-involvement in the Iraq war without United Nations approval.

"(The war in Iraq) is such an extremely important issue, it's normal that people have strong opinions on it," said spokeswoman Frederique Tsai.

"The prime minister did say that while we are not part of the coalition, we want the U.S. to win and we want them to win quickly, with a minimum of casualties."
