Methodology
This web survey was conducted from February 9 to 11, 2024, with 1,579 Canadians aged 18 or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison, a probability sample of 1,579 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.46%, 19 times out of 20.
