New polling from Ipsos found that over five out of 10 Canadians said they would either reduce their contacts or socially distance more during the holidays, while a whole 34 per cent said they would be cancelling their holiday plans altogether.

Ontario also recently placed both its virus hotspots of Peel and Toronto into lockdown as virus cases continue to spike in the province. On Friday, the province saw a record number of cases reported, with 1,855 new COVID-19 infections.“And as far as the lockdowns continue, you’re seeing that they’re not only modifying their public behaviour, they’re modifying the private behaviour — and that’s behaviour that involves their families and celebrations,” explained Bricker.

Bricker said that, even after taking into account Canada’s population and the poll’s age cutoff, the estimated 3 million-plus Canadians expected to not change their plans could cause some problems. Despite that, Bricker said that he was optimistic that the number was “only 10 per cent,” and that the vast majority of Canadians were still following the advice they’ve been given.

Bricker said that after having asked the perspectives of different population groups living through the pandemic, the group having both the hardest time following public health advice and feeling the most affected by the COVID-19 crisis was that of young people. Bricker said the most interesting finding here was that it’s the older demographic of people, aged 35-54, that saw a boost in being more likely to or trying to shop online.

Unless the health office says DEFINITELY NO tomorrow then I am on for a normal Christmas

Uh, do we have a choice? 🤷‍♀️

fake news

Why would you cancel your plans?! Nothing is different this year then last! Just a bunch of idiots trying to control the vonrable people of this world! The ones who don’t know not to listen to the mainstream media and idiots in the government

my Christmas plans won't be changing, but then, I usually end up spending it alone anyways.....so there's that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Your poll from this article isint what this poll on twitter is saying. Almost similar data.

I’m not canceling my plans already made much before this COVID-19 just silently occurred because of communism dirty deeds .

Dominate this COVID-19 not travels and Christmas coming up . This is not fair or righteous . Dec.21/2020 when the International airport need to reopen for holiday Christmas 🎄 holiday season . This COVID-19 is not going to dominate Lives this is damn ridiculous .

My plans got changed by work actually. Christmas on the 28th

My vote is inaccurate! I meant to hit yes but my thumb twitched and it hit no. Yes I am altering/cancelling my holiday plans

So just throwing this out there. No politician you’ve seen on the news has: - died from the virus - lost their job - had their pay cut - had their business closed - had their business looted - wears a mask (unless on camera) - restricted their travel Y’all realize this, right?

73% are fucking sheep. Wake up people, you're all being played for as fools.

We have a very small family bubble, so..no. we'll be ok

I don't plan nor change my plans. I was forced to do it.

This should read as 9 in 10 Canadians say they are planning to either modify or cancel holiday plans; sadly what people say and what they do are very different things

Look at all these lemmings

GlobalNews gets caught deleting polls unfavourable towards dear leader, but, they just keep chugging along with another one.

My answer is No, but only because we never made any to begin with. We had always planned a nice comfy Christmas at home with just me the wife and the kids. It was pretty obvious months ago that the winter was going to be the worst time so there was no point in doing otherwise.

Shouldn't even have to think twice. Should be modified or nothing at all

I'm not having anybody over as much as I want to I just can't justify my safety and theirs . Better to wait till next year

My family and I are staying home. Like we usually do

I've changed all my plans since this March.

Of course I am because I’m not a rat licker.

I don't have plans to begin with lmao. Staying cautious this year

I made no plans you should have that option

Plenty of yahoo's I've been seeing on my social going to Trumptopia this year.

Travelling is suppose to be an escape, an adventure not a nightmare. The whole hasle of travelling is not worth it, but it's not just about flying, destinations are not that appealing. So travelling plans this year are within a 100km range. Montreal Quebec Canada

Of course I’ve changed plans. It’s the smart, educated, caring thing to do. I know many healthy people who are now dealing with chronic health issues bc of Covid. I’ve been dealing with chronic health issues for 5 years now and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone!

Who the fuck is making plans in the first place?

3/4 of Canada are really sheep 🐑. Enjoy thegreatreset

Staying home we don’t travel at Xmas.

Wish I could get my money back from AirCanada

There you go, folks. 'Poll' and 'Experts.'

You have been lied to.

Scared people stay home, the rest of us will enjoy Christmas to its fullest.

Going down south. Don't live your life in fear sheep.

cancel deez nutz mf

what plans? who was going to plan anything this year?

I don’t know who or where they took this poll but I know around here in rural sask no one has changed their plans of getting together with family and friends

Only one problem, that is all a lie. Canadians do not plan to stop or cancel CHRISTMAS with their family and friends this year. That is a leftist spun narrative.
