In B.C. and Atlantic Canada, support for the Clean Electricity Regulations is even higher, with nearly 8 in 10 saying that they \u201csomewhat\u201d or \u201cstrongly\u201d support them. More Canadians support the regulations than are against them in every region, including Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n

When asked to rate arguments for why Canada should transition to 100% clean electricity, Canadians rate \u201cclean electricity is necessary to combat climate change\u201d as the most convincing. Also convincing, they find, are the arguments that \u201cclean electricity is more secure than fossil fuel electricity\u201d and that \u201cCanada already has one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world and is well-positioned to set an example for other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

QUOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Evan Pivnick, clean energy program manager at Clean Energy Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClean power is the backbone of a successful energy transition. It\u2019s what powers our homes, our cars, and businesses in a net-zero Canada. And it\u2019s very popular. While Alberta\u2019s premier has positioned herself against Canada\u2019s forthcoming Clean Electricity Regulations, the fact is that a majority of Albertans actually support the policy, and the province is poised to be a leader in securing clean energy investments. Clean electricity is a climate imperative, an economic advantage, and a no-brainer for Canada. We already have one of the world\u2019s cleanest power grids\u2014wasting that head start is no way to win a race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The survey was conducted with 2,000 Canadian adults from June 06 to 11, 2023. A random sample of panelists were invited to complete the survey from a set of partner panels based on the Lucid exchange platform. These partners are typically double opt-in survey panels, blended to manage out potential skews in the data from a single source. The margin of error for a comparable probability-based random sample of the same size is +\/- 2.191%, 19 times out of 20. The data were weighted according to census data to ensure that the sample matched Canada\u2019s population according to age, gender, educational attainment, and region. Totals may not add up to 100 due to rounding.<\/em><\/p>\nMETHODOLOGY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
