A research poll reveals more than 75% of Nova Scotians are eager to welcome more newcomers, including immigrants, to their province. Over 92 percent of Nova Scotians want the province to recruit doctors from other countries.
The online poll — which was conducted by Halifax-based Narrative Research — between July 23 to July 28, surveyed 521 Nova Scotia residents who are 18 and older from the company’s online panel, East Coast Voice. In accordance with CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards, a margin of error is not applied.
The candidates were asked about the extent to which they supported or opposed having the new provincial government act on what they deemed to be “key issues, including include access to mental health care, introducing a guaranteed minimum income, and reducing the cost of childcare in Nova Scotia.
Increased access to health care and taking more aggressive measures to protect the environment were the top actions Nova Scotians want the new government to take.
In related news, the Federal Government of Canada announced on Wednesday that vaccine passports for foreign travel will be introduced this fall. These passports will include information on what vaccines were administered, the date of vaccination, and where the doses were received. Nova Scotia promised a ScotiaPass for residents and those business owners can use it to control access to their businesses.
