Quebecers and British Columbians are more likely to feel that the values of Canadian society are more right-wing now than a decade ago.Some Canadians believe that the country’s values have shifted over the past decade, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll conducted in partnership with L’Actualité has found.
In the online survey of a representative sample of 1,006 Canadian adults, more than a third of respondents (37%) believe that the values of Canadian society are more right-wing now than 10 years ago, while 22 per cent report no change. Only 15 per cent of Canadians think the country is now more left-wing oriented.
Almost half of Canadian men (48%) think the values of Canadian society are more right-wing than ten years ago. Only one-in-ten respondents over the age of 55 (9%) say that Canada is now more left-wing oriented than a decade ago.
More than half of Canadians (56%) believe the Federal Government has an important role to play to redistribute the wealth and intervene in the economy, even if it means increasing taxes.
However, not all regions hold the same sentiment. Ontarians (62%) are more likely to agree with this assertion, along with a majority of British Columbians (55%) and Quebecers (52%). However, only 44 per cent of Albertans concur.
