Several online surveys found massive support for the Alberta government, and nearly all respondents said Ontario and B.C are headed in the wrong direction.
The Juno News online surveys, targeted by region, found that 82 per cent of respondents said the Alberta government is “on the right track,” while over 90 per cent of Ontarians and British Columbian respondents said their provinces were headed in the wrong direction.
Most Albertan respondents, 80 per cent of the 905 respondents, listed federal government interference in Alberta as the number one issue holding Alberta back. Other issues were energy prices, inflation, immigration and crime.
In British Columbia, only two per cent of the 939 respondents said the province was headed on the right track, the other 98 per cent indicated that British Columbia was on a bad path.
The results show strong frustration across the province and a very clear top priority from BC voters, private property rights.
Over two-thirds of British Columbian respondents said that property rights was the top issue holding the province back with 67 per cent saying it was a top issue. Another 11 per cent said immigration was major concern, 10 per cent said it was the carbon tax. Crime was a top problem for 8 per cent of the respondents of the BC poll, while the housing crisis was the number one issue holding BC back for 4 per cent of respondents.
For Ontario respondents, A decisive 92 per cent of the 732 respondents in the Ontario poll said the province was on the wrong track and immigration was the biggest problem holding the province back, with a third of respondents listing it as a top concern.
A quarter of respondents said health care wait times were the biggest issue, 21 per cent said inflation was a top priority. Another 12 per cent said housing affordability was top of mind for them, while the remaining 10 per cent said crime was their biggest concern.
