Canadian Gallup Poll, July 1978, #414

The questions ask opinions about the length of government terms and other important political issues within the country and abroad. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance, such as allowing the RCMP to open suspicious mail, respectable occupations and who should be punished for child traffic violations.

The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic variables. Topics of interest include: approval of a 4 year government term; approval of total nuclear disarmament; approval of U.S. capital investment in Canada; biggest threats to Canada; buying control of U.S. firms; punishing parents for child traffic violations; conducting nuclear referendums; employment position; increasing the U.N.'s power; protecting personal rights in Canada; reasons for not looking for a job; the RCMP opening suspicious mail; respectable occupations; the U.N. peacekeeping force; and who political parties benefit.
