The opinions expressed in this document are those of the author and are not necessarily those of the Canada West Foundation’s Board of Directors, advisors, or funders. [...] The purpose of the Looking West Surveys is to inform the public, community leaders, government staff, and elected officials about the views and perspectives of western Canadians. [...] The objective of the survey is to help western Canadians and their governments better understand the opinions and attitudes of western Canadians. [...] The relative confidence (and perhaps complacency) in the future of national unity, coupled with the considerably high level of indifference or negativity toward the place of Quebec in Confederation, suggests that future national unity efforts designed to keep Quebec in the national fold will be a hard sell among western Canadians under age 35. [...] The result is a large (2,000 person) sample of western Canadians under the age of 35, referred to as the “under 35s” in this report.
