The national phone survey by the Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research at the University of Saskatchewan was done between March 7 and March 24. It asked 1,011 people about the issues that divide them the most.The majority said the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 federal election were the two most divisive issues over the past year.
The survey suggested people on the Prairies were more likely than in any other region to believe that the issues of fighting climate change and banning assault weapons were dividing Canadians. In Central Canada, however, respondents didn't think a ban on weapons was a divisive topic. Respondents in Quebec were more likely than those in other regions to believe society has become less polarized. Disano attributed that result to more moderate or liberal views.
"We do see these regional differences, which to a large extent are informed by the political leanings of the residents of those various regions," Disano said.
The headline should read… the media continues to do its best to divide Canadians
That might be because you treat listening to science and caution as being the mirror image of ignoring science for the sole purpose of being selfish. They are not two sides of anything; they are a reasoned approach and a tantrum.
I think it's just from ppl on Twitter and the media. My day to day interactions involve mostly people who are just getting on with their lives. Extremists are loud. The rest of use aren't so loud and don't do surveys.
It's our government who is dividing us, not the disease. FuckTrudeau
I don't get it. When the federal leader of our country makes numerous divisive comments during the pandemic, his comments are aired on MSM and his own MP's out him for his divisive intent...the MSM still refuse to show the effect. This article and survey begs to be questioned.
Covid 19 threads are as controversial as the US Presidential elections.
Conservatives have gone nuts, like in the US
90% vaxed so no not divided! Can stick polls up you know what
If you would get your shit together and stop continuously spreading BS, you’re all over the fvcking map CTV.
The quieter ones are also speaking, and I can guarantee these marshal law/segregation supporters are in the minority. Don't know how mainstream media is still believed on anything.
When the leader caters to his own interests and ignores huge numbers of people that is what happens.The answer is a leader who brings everyone in and can walk amongst all people and they respect him not one who buys off what they can to keep their agenda going
Congratulations to the media, the number one perpetrator of division🥇
due to fed,gov. leadership and its heath ministry questionable statements by the media [local/prov. gov.\ ational], age requirements, it is no wonder Canadian people are in a confused state.
Pat yourselves on the back for that...i heard of pouring gas on the fire but you guys came with a tanker load of it...keep up the great work of separating Canada...
Always something says with mainstream media .
If we are divide its not for the Covid but for the corrupt communist Liberal government and the corrupt LiberalMedia I think $600 millions can make Tzunami Kakahashi dance naked for BlackFace boyfriend KlausSchwabb stopMediaTerrorism stopLyingus TheMediaIsTheVirus
Probably because there's a group of morons still voting for the liberals and NDP who want to give up their freedoms, lose their jobs/businesses and homes, and still think covid is a big deal.
Canadians, British, Americans, Germans, Swiss, French, Bajan....everyone is divided. It's between being selfish/fearful or having empathy.
Seems that every country in the world has become divided politically, economically, and socially.
cdnmediafailed. Again and again.
You the media and the PM are the true dividers of this country ‘
That’s because politicians are fking involved and attempting nation wide division.
And they have every right to when a pandemic that is far from over has become a political football. I don’t care what people say or believe, my mask is not coming off anytime in the near future.
Remind Canadians how much of the $600M media bailout went to CTV?
Almost as if the strategy was applied from the beginning LOL ya think? divideandconquer
provincial govt blame them feds said notoveryet in Feb !!!!
Because we’ve had the most divisive PM of my lifetime. He literally called truckers Nazis. Let that sink in.
That’s the problem when you have an egomaniacal sociopath as a prime minister. He has divided the country and has now formed a socialist coalition to maintain power. There is no need for any mandated restrictions now, this only about control
Sure, Canadians started listening to “the drivers”?! Experts in everything?!
I wonder why. CTV you play a big part of spreading hate and divide . Garage news.
People say that it's the fault of: JustinTrudeau CBC globalnews And ... Oh no wait, fact checkers are saying it's the conservatives fault, it's always been their fault. Never mind, move along
The conservative plan Is to spread fear and hatred
I just farted. There’s a story that’s true
Either you believe in science or you believe in politicians. Much less tolerance for opposing views. The vaxed and masked blame the unvaxed and unmasked for spreading Covid to the current extent. The antivaxed blame govts for need for vax to travel.
That’s what Trudeau wants
Inevitable when you have divisive hateful politicians in power.
Maybe if the MSM wasn’t so one sided & actually reported truthfully instead of just pumping out government PR pieces Canadians would be more inline with each other. When a Government has control & influence over the media it’s the thin end of the wedge. MSM = Gov propaganda
Covid exposed the anti social, anti science, anti reality segment of the Canadian population
And that’s exactly what they want. When we are divided, we are weak.
I realize everyone, including myself, hates wearing masks; however, taking the mandate away was a huge mistake. The number of crowded unmasked people in big box stores is frightening. We'll see what the end of the summer holds for us.
We are living in a dystopian reality because of those at the helm. Provincial governments and phos oppose science and health and are on the wrong side of history. A divide was bound to happen.
Due to corrupt governments and their 💩 mandates, money making scamdemic and the lies spread by you the 💩 main stream media. So now why don’t you go jam your fake surveys where the sun don’t shine.
Where do people take part in these surveys? I have yet to see ONE in which I can participate. Please advise because I am really curious to know.
Home prices are what's doing it for me.
Seems the gov likes it this way ?
The ' I know better ' syndrome 🧐
The Liberal leader of Quebec admitted that this division was Trudeau's election strategy and the caucus disagreed with it. But then you didn't cover his press conference hoping Canadians wouldn't know. We do.
COVID-19 is a virus so I follow what experts say, not politicians.
Divisive govt and divisive media - no surprise. Wasn't that the intent? I am just surprised at how many sheep there really are.
Wonder who did that? The Corporate Press is The Enemy Of The People. That includes you
We've had 6 years of a leader l (who I wanted to like) who had ethical violations, blocked investigations called his own citizens racist misogynist because they made a choice he gave. 💰 to the media. On and on nd on. Watch How to become a tyrant. Netflix.Tell me JT doesn't fit?
Of course. Liberals trying to push major left wing policies and remove freedoms will do that.
The media is the enemy of people.
Imagine that... The news tells us for the last however long that we should hate each other and now... we all hate each other. These studies are amazing.
And what was your part in it?
Divided? I think we’re getting along great!
Thanks, Trump. 👎
Mission accomplished
a few years of SunnyWays will do that to a population...
I wonder who is fanning the flames?
Oh I’ve not had enough coffee for this one… Just “shame” on all of it. Can’t even go down the street without seeing a political opinion in some way shape or form. Seriously, fuk off with your mask/no mask harassment while I’m buying eggs. Just “shame”
'Divided' may be the wrong word. 2 yrs of a pandemic, wks of 0 mgmt of an Occupation, dis-misinformation, front & centre lawlessness, populist 'stunts,' and now, Ukraine are the backdrop. EXASPERATED is, I think, more accurate. We have much work ahead.
I know why
First past the post will do that to you
The mask is a “MAGA hat”. It keeps Covid out of your lungs like the MAGA hat keeps sun out of your eyes. They both do a job, but mostly it’s to tell people what your political affiliation is. How divisive was that?
The media: Canadians are becoming more divided for some reason🤷 Also the media:
Over 90% vaxxed Flip off media
