Environics Focus Canada 2020

As part of its Focus Canada public opinion research program (launched in 1976), the Environics Institute updated its research on key issues including: Canadian attitudes about immigration and refugees, Canadian attitudes about their country’s relations with its international partners, public priorities and on the ways in which governments make decisions, and Canadian public opinion about racism and discrimination. This survey was conducted in partnership with the Faculty of Social Sciences’ IMPACT Project at the University of Ottawa and Century Initiative.

This survey is based on telephone interviews conducted (via landline and cellphones) with 2,000 Canadians between September 8 and 23, 2020. A sample of this size drawn from the population produces results accurate to within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points in 19 out of 20 samples.
