| Description | With MPs about to vote on same-sex marriage, Canadians are almost equally divided over the issue, according to a Toronto Star poll released today.
The poll, conducted by EKOS Research Associates, shows 42 per cent of Canadians endorse allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. In contrast, 40 per cent say they oppose marriage for same-sex couples.
In Alberta, 50 per cent oppose same-sex marriage, but even in Ontario, 48 per cent oppose it. In contrast, 52 per cent of Quebecers support gay marriage.
Nationally, 17 per cent of respondents said they "neither" support nor oppose same-sex marriage, and 1 per cent said they did not know or declined to respond. |
