Canada’s evacuation efforts in Kabul, Afghanistan have ended, officials confirmed Thursday.

At an official update at 8 a.m. ET, military officials said Canadian personnel left the country “eight hours ago.” Roughly 3,700 people we’re evacuated by Canada during its operation, though that number will be confirmed in the later days, officials said.

Canada has left the Taliban-run country five days before American soldiers are due to leave on Aug. 31, after the two-decade long War on Terror.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada will continue to try to help Afghans who want out of the country, despite military presence physically leaving.

Following a summer of record-setting heatwaves and devastating forest fires, it has become clear to Canadians that something needs to be done about climate change. But new Ipsos polling suggests they are divided on whether fixing climate change should come at the cost of the country’s economy.

The Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, also found that the issue of climate change had become a primary issue during this year’s election, ranking top five among respondents.

Data from the poll, which interviewed 1,500 Canadians online over the weekend, found that 77 per cent of those surveyed said the country needs to do more to reverse its effects, but 51 per cent said the federal government needs to “balance economic considerations with environmental efforts.”
