Canadians split on PSAC strike - But most aren't paying attention: poll

#GlobalNews #Canada #PSAC

As the federal public service strike is into its second
week, a new poll has found that Canadians are divided
between the union and the federal government.

Ipsos, on behalf of Global News, polled 1,000
Canadians between April 21 and 24 and found that 38
per cent of Canadians are either strongly (16 per cent)
or somewhat (22 per cent) on the side of the Public
Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC).

Meanwhile, 28 per cent said they are either strongly
(10 per cent) or somewhat (18 per cent) on the side of
the government. Thirty-four per cent said they don't
know enough to say either way, and 47 per cent said
they don't know enough to say who is being the most
fair.

"| think a lot of Canadians aren't paying a ton of
attention to the strike at this point," Sean Simpson, a
senior VP at Ipsos, told Global News. "They're dialed
out."
