Canadian Gallup Poll, August 1988, #808_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly social and political issues. The questions ask opinions on who of the present candidates would make the best prime minister, the treatment and perception of AIDS and what Canada's most urgent health problem is. There are also questions on other topics of interest such as illegal immigrants to Canada, attitudes toward two of Canada's major cities, Toronto and Montreal, and the content of respondents' daydreams. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, political and social variables. Topics of interest include: attitudes toward Toronto and Montreal; opinions and perceptions of AIDS; urgent health issues; ratings of party leaders Mulroney, Turner and Broadbent; the Canadian Senate; free trade; illegal immigrants to Canada; learning a second language; english taught in Quebec; daydreams' content; and the Canadian parole system. Basic demographic variables are also included.
