Canadian Gallup Poll, September 1973, #361

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both social and political issues. The questions ask opinions about political leaders, the upcoming election and issues regarding international relations. It also asks questions involving the metric system, striking unions and Daylight Savings time. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: changing eating habits due to increasing prices; confidence in the United States' problem solving; conflicts of interest among levels of government; countries becoming Republics; disliking other countries; the effects of Confederation; the increasing price of food; metric conversions; the most important problems facing Canada; which party would get the most votes if an election was called; the NDP supporting the minority government; the performance of the Liberal cabinet; the political party that can best handle the problems in Canada; remaining on Daylight Savings all year and strikes due to the attitude of management. Basic demographic variables are also included.
