The following presentation was delivered by Frank Graves to Future of Insights Summit, hosted by the Canadian Research Insight Council (CRIC) in collaboration with ESOMAR and CAIP Canada on June 5, 2023. [More...] [Ottawa – May 31, 2022] A strong majority of Canadians want to see Rogers’ acquisition of Shaw blocked – either by the Competition Bureau or by the federal government. Six in ten Canadians (58.5%) Canadians said they support the Competition Bureau’s effort to stop Rogers from acquiring Shaw. [More...] [Ottawa – December 12, 2019] The political landscape appears to be as frozen as the land as we move into Canadian winter with a deadlocked and deeply divided citizenry. Vote intention hasn’t budged in the past seven weeks, although the Green Party and People’s Party are both doing better than on Election Day. Everyone else is pretty much mired in place. It is notable that the Liberals do better with middle class and university educated voters. Support for both the Liberal and Conservative parties rises with age, while the NDP does better with young voters. [More...] IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME [Ottawa – October 23, 2016] The most ubiquitous transformation of our society has been the digital revolution. Whether this has had a net beneficial impact on standard of living or democratic health is unclear. It is the case that this third industrial revolution has occurred contemporaneously to a period of economic stagnation and a declining trust in government and democracy. What is clear is that the internet is the new universal mass media and that nearly everyone is online daily. Increasingly we do our shopping online, we bank online, and we… [More...] [Ottawa – January 9, 2013] Follow the link below for our complete five-part series titled “Looking Backward, Looking Forward”. In this series, we examine some of the broad social forces changing our society that have been largely hidden from mainstream discussion or even working in ways opposite to the received wisdom. Click here for the full report: Looking Backward, Looking Forward – Complete Series (January 9, 2013) ADDENDUM TO LOOKING BACKWARD, LOOKING FORWARD: PART 3 [Ottawa – January 4, 2013] In yesterday’s release on social media, we discussed its linkage to democratic health and to socioeconomic status (SES) – i.e., income and educational attainment. We provide two additional pieces of background evidence. The first doesn’t directly link social media and democratic health but it does show the recent trend lines in how Canadians rate the health of democracy. The trend line is not auspicious and shows that a much longer decline in trust in government, which is pervasive to the advanced western world and began in… [More...] FORCE THREE: SOCIAL MEDIA ISN’T HELPING [Ottawa – January 3, 2013] Internet 2.0 (surely we are at least at 3.0) is transforming our society in ways we couldn’t even have imagined twenty five years ago. The Internet is the new mass media and social media is now the avidly consumed by most Canadians, particularly those below our median age of 41 years (it was around 26 at the last Centennial celebrations of 1967). This isn’t merely a change to our popular culture; social media is at the heart of the North American economy with the Facebook IPO the… [More...] |
