Linking Political Orientation and Environmentalism: An analysis of changing environmental attitudes and subsequent party support in Canada

This project looks at the state of Canada's emissions problem, the reasons why it is failing to deal with it, and the role that public opinion plays in dealing with it given Canada's federal nature. It analyses data across various election studies from 2000-2019 to see how public opinion has changed

Hello there! My name is Aly, and I am a British undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, currently doing an International Affairs Specialist, with a Minor in Sustainability.

My research project is → Linking Political orientation and Environmentalism: An analysis of changing environmental attitudes and subsequent party support in Canada. In my project, I aim to analyze the changing link between environmental attitudes and party support/political orientation in Canada, using Canadian Election Studies data from 2015 and 2019, and comparing my results with results from a previous study which carried out similar analysis on data from the 2004 and 2006 elections. I also hope to inform my analysis with a discussion of provincial differences in these links, hoping to shine a light on possible avenues towards improving engagement with voters for provincial elections which may help Canada in its terrible track record on improving its environment.
