Canadians becoming more concerned about the economy

A new poll by the Angus Reid Institute shows increasing anxiety about the economy among Canadians. Forty-seven per cent said the economy is their biggest ‘national issue’ concern; in December the figure was 37 per cent. By comparison just 22 per cent put job security as their top concern and terrorism is at 9 per cent. Those in Alberta and Atlantic Canada are most concerned about their provincial economies and their own finances.
