Canadian Gallup Poll, January 1967, #322

This Gallup poll aims to collect the opinions of Canadians on issues of importance to government, and to the people of the country as a whole. The questions are mainly political, asking about preferred political leaders, parties, and issues. The subjects of the questions include taxation, Canada's centennial, prices, and labour unions. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: Armed forces unification; Canada's centennial; Expo '67 interest; federal elections; high prices; the importance of good job security compared to higher wages for Canadians; mandatory retirement at age 65; performance of Pearson's government; political party word association; preferred political parties; whether the prestige of the United States is declining; major problems facing labour unions; treatment of the French in business and civil service; union membership; unnecessary spending of tax dollars; and voting behaviour. Basic demographics variables are also included.
