Canadian Gallup Poll, July 1971, #348

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about political leaders and political issues within the country as well as questions dealing with religious beliefs, standard of living and the chances of an atomic war. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: broadcasting sessions of parliament; centres for transient students; the chance of atomic war; whether or not cigarettes cause cancer; the impact of the Federal budget; whether or not today's generation is better then the previous ones; the opinion of Finance Minister Benson; the opinion of Robert Bourassa; political predictions; Quebec Canada relations since Trudeau; religious beliefs; satisfaction with the standard of living; how serious it would be if the British Commonwealth broke up; Trudeau's economic policy; and virtues of the Commonwealth. Basic demographic variables are also included.
