Canadian Gallup Poll, May 1953, #227

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians on issues of importance to the government and the country. The majority of the questions are politically based, asking about political parties and issues. The survey also includes sections that ask opinions on the possibility of a new Canadian flag, the Duke of Windsor, and mercy killing. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, demographic, and social variables. Topics of interest include: the Canadian flag; the Canadian red ensign; divorce; the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; England; family issues; the Federal election; high school students; homework; mercy killing; morality issues; murder; phone ownership; preferred political parties; suicide; the Union Jack; union membership; and voting behaviour. Basic demographics variables are also included.
