Canadian Gallup Poll, March 1969, #334

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians on a variety of political and social issues of importance to the country and government. Some of the subjects include political leaders, parties and issues, abortion, international development and foreign aid, and lotteries. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical and social variables. Topics of interest include: abortions for physical and mental reasons; approval of the language rights bill; the court's treatment of criminals; the effectiveness of the Federal government; foreign aid; interest in international development; the legalization of sweepstakes and lotteries; militant students causing damage; political preference; a politician's right to privacy; recognizing Red China; the issue of public workers striking; the use of Medicare money; whether or not regional differences will break confederation; and if Canada will be better off if it was governed federally. Basic demographic variables are also included.
