Support for the change was higher among younger Canadians.
TORONTO — A new poll suggests only a third of Canadians support a proposal from Mississauga, Ont., to ask the federal government to change the lyrics of the national anthem.
Market research firm Leger surveyed 1,525 people online between June 7 and June 11, asking whether they support the proposal. Support for the change was higher among younger Canadians, with 42 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 34 supporting the proposed move.The poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples.
If passed, the City of Mississauga would send a letter to the federal government asking for the anthem lyrics to change.
