Glad you did this study, now I'm less worried about minor social desirability issues.

Of course, respondents are quite correct that no one is really paying attention to them individually, and their responses will not affect their reputations. So maybe respondents are smarter than we think.

Surprisingly the era of high immigration support didn't start until the late 1990s. The Mulroney government ramped up imm rates, but that was dispite public opinion, not because of it.

Not even much evidence for long-run polarization is there?

At least in Crandall and Lawlor 2022, the Conservative/Liberal difference is basically the same in 2019 as 2008.

Partisanship matters, and Harper years are a bump, but its episodic rather than continuing to grow over time.

You never know, maybe they randomized the order of response options 😞

Ironically the worst survey experience I've had this year is a qualtrics customer satisfaction survey.

I signed up with a panel company, and get asked maybe 5 times a year. Good to see how things feel from the other side though!

Paper rejected! 🤷‍♂️

Really glad to see this out, terrific work.

(its a "help you get a Social Insurance Number") session, but pretty funny graphic design decision.

Yes, and generally further from Federal power in various ways.

Australian Capital Territory would complicated it though...

Great! Would be nice to have an addition to Fred Cutler's work.

Not a lot of great provincial knowledge questions, but I seem to recall names of premiers in some CES.

Funny to read older work - lack of attention to causality, hardly any confidence intervals, focus on class, etc.

Quite the clapback in a footnote by Pinard here though:

For those interested lurkers, Pinard 1992 also has a nice discussion of earlier periods of change, and emphasis on things like status, resentment, and grievance (rather than economics and language).

Very kind of you, but I think I've got it sorted.

Yet another reminder that stuff on internet often just disappears!

This is a great idea. Internet Archive proves its worth yet again.

Thanks a lot!

Also, there are almost no recent items on traditional or social media. Which is surprising, given the amount of research on it, role in the Trump administration, changes like Twitter and the Post, etc.

maybe @goodauth.bsky.social should add some!

Sadly some older stuff is now paywalled, such as MOF at Vox, and its hard to get students access. Same for paid Substacks, libraries don't really know what to do with that. Something to keep in mind.
