Across Canada, the numbers are slightly more conservative, with 52 per cent saying the restrictions are just right, 20 per cent saying they go too far, and 28 per cent wanting to see tighter rules.
People in B.C, Manitoba and Saskatchewan were more open to tighter restrictions to prevent the spread. Alberta and Quebec showed the least openness to that idea.
The poll also asked respondents how they felt about their premier’s handling of the pandemic. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney received the lowest approval rating east of the Atlantic provinces, with 51 per cent saying he was doing a good job, and 47 per cent saying he was doing a bad job.
The results come from an online survey of 1,511 Canadian adults registered on the Angus Reid Forum. A probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
Canada’s airports likely to hike passenger fees as need for upgrades rise in the wake of pandemic
Canada’s airports are facing the bill for long-recommended upgrades just as COVID-19 has decimated their revenues and passengers could end up covering the costs when planes take off again.
In early March, before the pandemic was front and centre, the government published new regulations calling for the extension of emergency overshoot areas at major airport runways. The overshoots, called runway end safety areas (RESA), exist at airports around the world and are designed for emergencies when planes run out of room while landing.
