SURVEY METHODOLOGY
- A web survey was conducted among 1,516 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, via Leger’s online panel, LEO.
- The data was collected from August 19 to August 21, 2022.
- As a non-probability online survey, a margin of error is technically not reported. If the data were collected through a probability sample, the margin of error would be ±2.5%, 19 times out of 20.
- Using data from the 2021 census, the results were weighted according to age, gender and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population.
