SURVEY METHODOLOGY

  • 1,519 Canadians and 1,004 Americans aged 18 or older were surveyed using Leger’s online panel, LEO, from February 25 to 27, 2022.
  • Using 2016 Census reference variables, the Canadian data was weighted according to gender, age, mother tongue, region, education level,  presence of children in households, and according to the party they voted for in the last federal election in order to render a representative sample of the general population.​ 
  • Using 2010 U.S. Census reference variables, the American data was weighted by our statisticians according to gender, age, region, race/ethnicity, household size and education level in order to render a representative sample of the general population.  
  • A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size would have a margin of error ±2.52%, 19 times out of 20 for the Canadian sample and of ±3.09%, 19 times out of 20 for the American sample.
