Canadian Gallup Poll, May 1984, #485_4

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly social issues. The questions ask opinions about Canada's problems and the future of the economy. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as how the courts deal with criminals, the Olympics and smoking. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to political and geographical variables. Topics of interest include: allowing sexual offenders to go on bail; allowing convicts weekend leaves; Canada's problems; the future of the economy; giving the terminally ill heroin; the government's handling of the economy; the harshness of the courts in dealing with criminals; the percentage of Canadians who smoked in the past week; political stance; preferred location of a permanent Olympic site; the proposal of a permanent Olympic site; smoking cigarettes in the past week; and working even though you don't need the money. Basic demographic variables are also included.
