Historica Canada and Questions

poll: Almost across the board, the online poll found little consensus on any of the questions but instead elicited a wide variety of answers, according to CTV. When asked what single word would describe Canada, the most popular answer was freedom or liberty, a choice made by just a quarter of respondents. The poll, commissioned by Historica Canada and conducted by Ipsos, asked a number of questions about various aspects of Canadiana ranging from inquiries about the preferred Canadian dinner companion to most effective single word to describe the country. Participants were asked to choose which living or dead Canadian they'd most like to have dinner with, and the top choice -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- earned just eight per cent of votes. Canadians did display more loyalty to animals that have come to be seen as national symbols, with 85 per cent of respondents standing by the beaver and 82 per cent expressing fondness for the Canada Goose. The survey even found dissent on some of the country's most stereotypical national symbols, with one third of respondents admitting to a hatred of hockey and 37 per cent disputing the tastiness of ketchup chips.
