Canadian Gallup Poll, March 1967, #323

This Gallup poll aims to collect the opinions of Canadians, on topics currently of interest to them, and the government. While there are some questions directly about politics and political leaders, the majority of the variables deal with current events topics, and subjects of political importance. Other subjects include birth control, development of the country, unions, and lotteries. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: American investment in Canada; birth control pills; whether Canada is becoming socialistic; changes in the cost of living; the development of Canada as a nation; federal elections; John Diefenbaker's performance as leader of the opposition; L.B. Johnson's performance as the President of the United States; labour union politics; Lester Pearson's performance as Prime Minister; a lottery to help pay for health and welfare; Tommy Douglas' performance as leader of the NDP; union membership; and voting behaviour. Basic demographics variables are also included.
