Canadian Gallup Poll, November 1986, #515_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly social issues. The questions ask opinions about unemployment and the budget. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as paternity leave, retirement and the promotion of females in sports. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: allowing retailers to be open on Sunday; whether to balance the budget or reduce unemployment; confidence in U.S. problem solving; funding of public education; giving more funding to amateur sports; giving to charitable organizations; governmental promotion of girls in sports; the highest temperature reached; influencing Canada's views; the length of paid paternity leave; paid paternity leave for fathers; source of retirement money; whether or not Canada expresses it's own views; and worrying about money for retirement. Basic demographic variables are also included.
