Canadian Gallup Poll, July 1986, #511_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly political issues. The questions ask opinions about the Progressive Conservative party and other political issues within the country such as the amount of wasted tax money. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the sale of pornography, unemployment and the number of days in a work week. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: the amount of tax money wasted by the federal government; the amount of tax money wasted by the local government; the amount of tax money wasted by the provincial government; the approval of the record of the Progressive Conservatives (PC) government; buying control of U.S. firms in Canada; changes in unemployment; changes in family finances; the closeness of U.S.-Canada relations; confidence in the U.S.'s handling of problems; identifying with a political party; the level of U.S. investment in Canada; the number of working days in a week; and selling pornography to adults. Basic demographic variables are also included.
