Canadian Gallup Poll, August 1985, #500_2

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly social issues. The questions ask opinions about unemployment and governmental control within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as night school, atomic war and TV violence. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical and political variables. Topics of interest include: attending night school; Canada's population; the causes of crime and violence; the chances of an atomic war today; courses taken in night school; the effects of a cashless society; the effect of TV violence on the aggressiveness of children; the government's control over TV violence; the number of metropolitan areas in Canada; the percentage of the population that lives in rural areas; reducing the deficit; reducing unemployment; satisfaction levels; separating provinces; and whether or not computers will lead to a cashless society. Basic demographic variables are also included.
