Canadian Gallup Poll, September 1959, #278

This Gallup poll aims to seek the opinions of Canadians on a wide variety of topics, with the subjects ranging from compact cars and space exploration to mercy killing, Canadian titles for British Royalty, and the reading habits of Canadians. There are also multiple sections involving labour unions. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, demographic, and social variables. The topics of interest include: car ownership; Canadian and European compact cars; federal elections; fines for jay walking; grocery stamps; Khrushchev visiting America with good intentions; living in the scientific age; mercy killing; power of labour unions; preferred political parties; whether the Queen's baby should receive a Canadian title at the age of 21; railroad workers wage increase; reading books; space exploration; strike of railroad workers; union membership; voting behaviour; and world war predictions. Basic demographics variables are also included.
