Project
Title: Democracy's Challenges: Political Support in Quebec and Canada
This project digs deep within the Quebec and Canadian contexts to investigate the complexities of political support, parceling out variations in support across political objects and levels of government. It aims to build a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the effects of the perceived performance of different political objects at different levels of government and the inter-connectedness between objects from the most specific to the most diffuse. This work also employs a comprehensive set of questions that more directly and effectively measure what aspects of the political system Quebecers, and Canadians more generally, see as problematic and why.
