Poll sees fewer respondants say they have deep connection to Canada
- Canadians are feeling less patriotic, at least according to an Angus Reid national survey that asked people if they have a deep emotional attachment to the country. Almost half answered no. People in Saskatchewan were even less keen on Canada.
The article from MSN discusses a recent poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute which indicates a decline in the number of Canadians who feel a deep connection to their country. According to the poll, only 45% of respondents now feel a strong sense of belonging to Canada, a significant drop from previous years. This shift is attributed to various factors including economic concerns, political polarization, and a growing sense of disillusionment with national institutions. The article highlights that younger Canadians, in particular, are less likely to express a strong national attachment, with many citing issues like housing affordability, climate change, and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples as reasons for their detachment. The poll also notes regional differences, with Quebec showing a slightly higher sense of connection compared to other provinces. This trend raises concerns about national unity and the future of Canadian identity.
