NO BEEF FOR YOU: Privy Council polls Canadians on meatless diets for climate change
Blacklock's Reporter says the survey found that only 7% of Canadians identify as vegetarian or vegan.
The poll, commissioned by the Privy Council, aimed to gather data for the Department of Environment and Department of Natural Resources.
"The purpose of this study is to provide high quality data on Canadians’ beliefs, attitudes, and behavior relating to climate change," the report noted, including support for climate policies.
When asked about their dietary habits, 30% of respondents said they had never gone a full day without eating meat in the past two months, while 12% recalled doing so once. Similarly, 30% said they "never" made efforts to eat a more plant-based diet, with 25% reporting they did so "occasionally" and 19% "rarely."
These findings align with global concerns about the environmental impact of animal agriculture. A United Nations report, Healthy Diets For A Healthier Planet, identifies red meat, dairy, and farmed shrimp as major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions due to deforestation for grazing land.
"We are simply echoing and supporting what the huge body of evidence is saying about emissions from animal agriculture and the need to reduce production to help meet climate targets," testified Lynn Kavanaugh of World Animal Protection before the Commons agriculture committee last year.
The survey, conducted by Forum Research Inc., polled 13,700 Canadians and cost $176,699. It also measured Canadians' attitudes toward climate change, revealing that 45% felt "worried" about the issue, with 33% reporting feeling "anxious," and 24% "hopeful."
Interestingly, 45% agreed that adapting to climate change impacts would be cheaper than preventing them, while 35% believed the impacts of climate change would be "overwhelmingly positive" for a cold country like Canada.
The results of the survey are intended to help the federal government shape future climate policies and communication strategies.

Canada Has Gone Woke and It's About to Go Broke...
Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
