Conservative voters less likely to say they’re proud to be Canadian, survey suggests

Canadians’ pride in their nationality, like most things these days, seems to be divided down partisan lines, a new poll suggests.

While a strong majority of the 1,512 respondents to the survey by Leger said they were proud to be Canadian — 81 per cent — the poll suggests the feeling is less common among Conservative supporters than their Liberal counterparts.

Experts say that while the results of the survey may be surprising given Conservatives’ reputation as a patriotic party, it reflects their discontent with the direction in which Canada is headed.
