Canadian Gallup Poll, February 1981, #446_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about international relations and other political issues within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the approval of adding a second C.B.C. network, discrimination and kidnapping. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: the approval of a second C.B.C. network; being discriminated against; the causes of lawlessness; the chances of children having a happy life; the cost of education; criticisms of the education system; favouring capital punishment; the government's handling of kidnappers; the most important thing unions do for its members; quality of education; quality of newspaper reporting; U.S-Canada relations under Reagan. Basic demographic variables are also included.
