The questions ask opinions about political leaders and political parties within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as unemployment, pension plans and predictions for 2005.

Topics of interest include: the approval of Broadbent as NDP leader; the approval of Mulroney as Prime Minister; the approval of Turner as leader of the opposition; confidence in the government's handling of unemployment; the effect of advertisement on interest levels; fulfilling wishes; the main causes of unemployment; mandatory retirement at age 65; opinions about the Liberal party; opinions about the NDP; opinions about the Progressive Conservative party; predictions for 2005; and providing pension plans.
