Canadian Gallup Poll, October 1966, #321

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions Canadians hold toward current events. There are questions about Expo '67, gun permits, divorce, welfare and unemployment. There are also political questions, gathering the opinions of Canadians towards political parties and leaders. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: the British Commonwealth's importance; communist government in China being recognized by Canada; federal elections; what constitutes grounds for divorce; Canada's immigration policy; interest in politics; occupations that are regarded highly; permit requirements to buy a gun; preferred political parties; price and wage freezes; the Queen's visit to Expo '67; union membership; wages and the cost of living; welfare payments; and voting behaviour. Basic demographics variables are also included.
