Drugs, abortion, taxes: Where Canadians stand on divisive issues
About this episode
In politics, a “third rail” is an issue that’s so volatile, so dangerous, that politicians are afraid to touch it.
The firm Abacus Data has just come out with a new poll that looks at the “third rails” of Canadian politics — the issues that would make people vote for or against a political party who promised that idea. And some of their findings — and the way they cut across the political spectrum — are actually pretty surprising.
David Coletto, the founder, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, breaks down those findings and what they may mean about the state of the country.
