The responses show clear differences in the interpretation of the threats posed by the pandemic in Canada versus other parts of the world, including our closest neighbours in the United States.Nearly three in five Canadians – 58 per cent – reported as of June 11 that they were regularly wearing face masks when out in public.
Respondents in Middle Eastern and Asian nations were the most likely to report staying away from workplaces, with the Philippines leading the way at 55 per cent. However, American and British respondents were among the last to come around to making these changes, and both remain well behind Canadians in doing so.
That number has slipped since then, most recently clocking in at 62 per cent on June 11 – but is still well above the American mark of 46 per cent.Canadians are also more likely than Americans to say they are avoiding crowded places during the pandemic. Seventy-six per cent of Canadians said this on June 11, while 63 per cent of Americans said the same on June 22.Respondents in most surveyed countries have seen ebbs and flows in support for their governments' handling of the pandemic.
As of June 30, 80 per cent of Canadians reported thinking their government has handled the pandemic very or somewhat well.
