Document Summary
People on the whole feel good about their country: the canadian mood stands in sharp contrast to the american outlook, which is the gloomiest it has been in generations. Canadians feel as proud as they ever have of their country, and confident in their core institutions (if less so in the people running them). They have maintained their faith in the country"s social welfare foundations, including support for the public health care system and a strong role for gov"t in addressing pressing issues like the environment and poverty. The public remains comfortable w/ the growing diversity of the population (now among the most multicultural in the world) and acknowledges the presence of the country"s aboriginal peoples. Canadians have never felt safer in their communities, and believe that prevention rather than enforcement is the best route to keeping crime rates low: public support for the death penalty remains at an all-time low.
