The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, political and social variables. Topics of interest include: a cost benefit evaluation of different governmental services; interracial marriage; interreligious marriage; issue alignment with Canada's political leaders; Canada U.S.A relations; bank charges; the next federal election and predictions of its outcome; mandatory military service at age 18; political corruption in Ottawa; ratings of Brian Mulroney; ratings of Ronald Regan; reasons for vote choice; and young people affording to own their own homes.
