Albertans are far more likely than respondents in the rest of Canada to name “economy” as the top issue facing the country. Health and inflation were almost always right behind ‘economy’ as the most important issue.

But compared to Canadians in other provinces, Albertans were much less likely to say the environment was the number one priority for the federal government. They were much more likely than Canadians in any other province to say that “government and political representation” was the most pressing issue in the country, a trend that Danielle Smith clearly tapped to win that province’s premiership.
While respondents in B.C. listed health, environment and the economy as top issues all through that polling period. “Affordable housing” was the fourth most frequent issue cited by voters there and named more often as a top issue than respondents in other parts of Canada. Not surprisingly then, one of the first things David Eby did when he took over as premier from John Horgan, was to institute some new housing policies and appoint B.C.’s first minister of housing.
“Debt or deficit”, “taxes”, and “crime” had a similar response rate of between 1 and 1.5 per cent each week when Canadians are asked to name the most important issue government should tackle.
