Canadian Gallup Poll, August 1986, #512_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly political issues. The questions ask opinions about political leaders and political issues within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as price protection for newly developed drugs and child care costs. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: allowing homemakers to have a pension plan; attitudes towards the Commonwealth; the best politician to be Prime Minister of Canada; the characteristics associated with Brian Mulroney; the characteristics associated with Ed Broadbent; the characteristics associated with John Turner; concern over the dissolving of the Commonwealth; paying for a homemaker's pension plan; price protection for newly developed drugs; and who should pay for child care. Basic demographic variables are also included.
