There are also questions on other topics including threats to Canada, inflation and ratings of public schools in the community.

Topics of interest include: the approval of Clark as leader of the Conservative party; the approval of Ed Broadbent as NDP leader; the approval of Trudeau as Prime Minister; best party to handle problems; who would make the best Prime Minister for Canada; biggest threat to Canada's future; the Federal government's economic policy; increasing an M.P.'s salary; the most important problem facing the country; rating an M.P.'s job performance; ratings of public schools in the community; and success in controlling inflation.
