Canadian Gallup Poll, August 1981, #452_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about political leaders and other political issues within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, the postal workers strike, creating a permanent voter's list and the ordination of married men. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic variables. Topics of interest include: coping with the postal strike; creating civilian review boards of police; delaying the Eastern electoral ballot; the effects of the ordination of married men on the church; the effects of the ordination of women on the church; having a permanent voter's list; husbands doing housework; increasing an M.P.'s pension; opinions about Broadbent as NDP leader; opinions about Clark as leader of the Conservative party; opinions about Trudeau as Prime Minister; opinions of the offer made to striking postal workers; richer provinces helping poor ones; and the government wasting money. Basic demographic variables are also included.
