CANADIANS SUPPORT TRUDEAU CARBON TAX AND WANT ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
15 November 2018 (Ottawa, ON) – More Canadians are supportive of the Liberal carbon tax proposal
than opposed, while a strong majority of Canadians believe that climate change is real and requires
action.
Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a conglomeration of ten provincial
polls. The poll surveyed 7961 Canadians between October 30th and November 7th. The poll has a
margin of error of +/- 1.09% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.
“There is a strong consensus among Canadians about the necessity to take action on climate change”,
said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet Research. “Canadians accept both that climate
change is real and want private companies to pay for polluting the environment.”
Just under 50% of Canadians support the Liberal plan to implement a carbon tax, while just over 40%
are opposed.
Other findings include:

• 76.1% of Canadians accept that climate change is real and caused by human activity.
• 58.8% of Canadians agree that the government has to solve the issue of climate change even if
the economy suffers.
• 81.6% of Canadians think that private companies should pay if they want to pollute the environment.
• Two-thirds of Canadians believe that there is a moral duty to not destroy the environment.
• further, even if that means Canadians pay more taxes in the short term.
“Partisanship as well as regional and economic concerns is what is keeping these numbers from being
even higher,” continued Maggi. “Opposition to the carbon tax is fierce in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
Manitoba, as it is among Conservative and People’s Party supporters.”
The poll also found that the Prairie provinces had the highest rates of scepticism about climate
change, as well the highest rates of opposition to solving the issue of climate change even at the risk
of harming the economy.
“Support for the carbon tax is lower than the general desire to fix climate change,” continued Maggi.
“This means that support for the carbon tax is being hampered by the fact that there concerns about
what the Liberal plan might do the Prairie economy and the fact that conservative-leaning voters
won’t support anything that the Liberal Prime Minister is proposing.”
“What this shows is that climate change has fully become a partisan debate about values and not a
discussion about using public resources to fix a problem affecting all Canadians,” continued Maggi.

Methodology
The analysis in this report is based on results of a survey conducted between October 30th,
2018 and November 7th 2018, among a sample of 7961 adults, 18 years of age or older, living
in Canada. The survey was conducted using Interactive Voice Recording. Respondents were
interviews on both landlines and cellular phones. The survey is intended to represent the
voting population of Canada.
This survey was conducted by Mainstreet Research and has not been sponsored by any
third-party organization.
The sampling frame was derived from both a national telephone directory compiled by
Mainstreet Research from various commercially available sources and random digit dialing.
The survey that dialed from the directory was conducted as a stratified dial of the ten
Canadian provinces. In the case of random digit dials, respondents were asked the additional
question of what region of the country they resided in. Respondents were dialed at random.
At least two attempts were made to complete an interview at every sampled telephone
number. The calls were staggered over times of day and two days to maximize the chances
of making contact with a potential respondent. Interviewing was also spread as evenly as
possible across the field period.
The questionnaire used in this survey is available in this report and online at www.
mainstreetresearch.ca. Questions are asked as they appear in the release document. If
a question is asked of a subset of the sample a descriptive note is added in parenthesis
preceding the question.
The sample was weighted by population parameters from the Canada 2016 Census for adults
18 years of age or older in Canada. The population parameters used for weighting are age,
gender, and region.
The margin of error for this poll is +/- 1.09% at the 95% confidence level. Margins of error are
higher in each subsample.
The margins of error for each subsample is as following: Males: +/- 1.47%, Females: +/- 1.64%,
18-34 age group: +/- 2.63%, 35-49 age group: +/- 2.26%, 50-64 age group: +/- 1.99%, 65+
age group: +/- 2.04%, British Columbia: +/- 3.15%, Alberta: +/- 3.27%, Prairies: +/- 2.51%,
Ontario: +/- 2.79%, Quebec: +/- 3.27%, Atlantic Canada: +/- 1.97%.
Totals may not add up 100% due to rounding.
In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that the wording of questions and
practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of
opinion polls. Moreover, all sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of
error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.
