poll ranking voter attitudes toward Conservative priorities.
The
Nanos Survey poll asked 1,000 Canadians earlier this month which issue

Stephen Harper’s website as long-term priorities. The poll suggests
Canadians have become less interested in cracking down on crime,

Nearly 40 per cent of those surveyed this year said economic unity
was their top priority, compared with close to 26 per cent last year,
when the same poll question was asked soon after the Conservatives won
their majority.
In Ontario, 46 per cent of respondents picked
economic unity as the most important priority, more than any other
province. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said earlier this year that the
province has “no one to blame but themselves” for heading into deficits
for six more years.
