Canadian Gallup Poll, July 1970, #342

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 wages and inflation, and attitudes towards marijuana.

The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical and social variables. Topics of interest include: a 6% pay limit increase; Canada becoming a Republic instead of being under the Queen's reign; divorce rates; fighting inflation; having fines for Marijuana possession instead of jail time; laws regulating labour unions; the lies in commercials; the Maritimes becoming one province; political preferences; the threat of Quebec separation if Bourassa is elected as Premier of Quebec; raising wages to keep up with the cost of living; the rating of Eric Kierans as Postmaster General; the rating of J.J. Greene as Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources; rating of John Turner as Finance Minister; the rise of unemployment; and the West becoming one province.
