A clear plurality of the public incorrectly believe that Lansdowne is owned by OSEG; only one in five recognize that Lansdowne is owned by the City of Ottawa. There is evidence that some of the concerns over the cost of Lansdowne 2.0 may be rooted in the incorrect assumption that the city is investing in privately-owned facilities. [More...]
The public mood is dark and the country divided. Overwhelmingly, those with the lowest levels of trust and highest levels of false beliefs are drawn to the Conservative Party of Canada. The links between mistrust, false beliefs, and support for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are massive. [More...]
The following survey was commissioned by Nature Canada. This study was conducted online using EKOS’ probability-based research panel, Probit. The field dates for this survey are July 28 – August 9, 2023. In total, a random sample of 1,071 Canadian adults aged 18+ responded to the survey. The margin of error associated with the total sample is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. All the data have been statistically weighted by age, gender, and region. [More...]

[Ottawa – May 26] As Albertans head to the polls on Monday, the governing United Conservative Party (UCP) led by premier Danielle Smith looks poised for re-election, but it will be a close race. A new EKOS poll suggests that half (50.4%) of the Alberta electorate will back the UCP in the election, three-points ahead (47.3%) of the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), led by former premier Rachel Notley. The remaining 3.1% of voters plan casting their ballots for other parties. It will be a two-horse race, with none of the minor parties expected to win any seats. [More...]
[Ottawa – March 24, 2023] With U.S. President Joe Biden’s first official visit to Canada underway, we have seen a strong recovery in terms of the outlook on the U.S.-Canada relationship since change in administration. Just over half of Canadians (53 per cent) would describe the U.S.-Canada relationship as good, a two-fold increase over the final months of Donald Trump’s presidency. Meanwhile, just 11 per cent rate it as poor. [More...]
[Ottawa – March 17, 2023] A deeply polarized electorate is divided three ways and no party has a clear path to power, a new EKOS poll has found. At 31 points, the Conservative Party has a three-point lead over the governing Liberals, who are at 28 per cent. Over the past few months, the Liberals have been losing ground to the third-place NDP who, at 25 points, are enjoying their highest standing since 2015, though these numbers would be well short of propelling Jagmeet Singh to victory if an election were held tomorrow.

(November 10, 2022) – Ottawa, ON – As most of us know, a national identity emerges over time and comprises shared narratives and interpretations of events, objects, symbols, and values. A national identity is an expression of collective self-perception and sensibility shared by individuals living in a country. Moreover, national identity is fluid, and these interpretations will change over time. [More...]

[Ottawa – September 2, 2022] Public support for the “freedom movement” is very stable. One-quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) say they support the movement, while 62 per cent are opposed and the rest either don’t know or have a neutral stance on the matter. Support is highest in Alberta (36 per cent) and rural areas (31 per cent) and it is significantly higher among men than among women (31 per cent versus 18 per cent). Support is also comparatively stronger among those aged 35 to 49 (particularly men) and those lack university educations. [More...]
[Ottawa – June 27, 2022] We have just wrapped our post-election study in Ontario. The two noteworthy results of the election were; 1) Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservatives winning an increased majority from 2018, and 2) the lowest voter turnout in the history of Ontario, where 43.5% of the eligible voters came to the polls. Our study looks at these issues and has identified some underlying causes for why they happened. [More...]
