http://erg.environics.net/news/default.asp?aID=506 is a link to an Environics report of the Pew Center for People and the Press. I do *not* work for Environics. :-)
Polls are odd creatures. Our media tend to simultaneously give them too much weight and too little analysis. They can be pretty good snapshots. If you really want to get a good grip on a poll always find out precisely what the question was and precisely how the sampling was done. And always, always take the margin for error into consideration.
This study revealed some interesting things about Canadians. You might find it interesting. If you like you can backtrack in the Environics site and find other polls that might interest you as well. And if you'd like to investigate the Pew Center their url is http://people-press.org/
