Nearly a third of British Columbians is warming on its own
The first cabinet announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2015 included a change in the name of one of the portfolios.
Research Co. and Glacier Media ask Canadians about climate change every year. In 2023, the backdrop is complex. Forest fires, floods and tornadoes are fighting for headline space as Canadians go about their summer with growing concerns over housing, health care and the economy. The environment, as an issue, no longer reaches double digits across the country.
The growth of the “middle ground” group over the past year is especially interesting. Roughly the same proportions of Canadians of every generation feel that the planet is warming up, but not because of anything we are doing. In two provinces, more than three in 10 residents feel this way: Alberta and British Columbia .
These numbers are significantly different from what we reported on last year. There is almost a double-digit decrease in the proportion of Canadians who think individuals and consumers should be acting now to deal with the consequences of global warming. There is also an evident gender gap: almost two thirds of women want to act, but only 51 per cent of men are willing to join them.
