A Survey of Western Canadians - 2001
CRIC

Description: This survey aims at evaluating the feeling of alienation of 
Western Canadians.  It probes people in regards to their feelings towards 
the federation and whether they understand tensions that rule the country.  
After better understanding feelings of exclusion, surveyors questioned

regards to changes brought to the democratic institutions which could make 
them feel more included and on the effects of the equalization program.
