Canadian Gallup Poll, August 1976, #391

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about the Conservative party leader Joe Clark and the amount of government interference within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as inflation, debt and business conditions within the community. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: allowing Air Canada to stop flying to counties with hijackers; amount of debt; the amount of government interference; banning capital punishment; the biggest problem facing Canada; buying items with cash to a receive discount; confidence in the government's handling of inflation; the degree of honesty and ethics in certain career fields; the goodwill towards Canada produced by the Olympic games; the influence of multi-national companies; opinions about Joe Clark; providing service in English and French; and watching the Olympic games on television. Basic demographic variables are also included.
