    Methodology

    Results are based on an online study conducted from November 17 to


    November 21, 2016, among 805 adult British Columbians.

    The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian


    census figures for age, gender and region in British Columbia.

    The margin of error, which measures sample variability, is 3.5


    percentage points for each sample, nineteen times out of twenty.

    DETAILED RESULTS

    Simplified Understanding

    Only 28 per cent of British Columbians agree with


    increasing the number of oil tankers in BCs coastal
    waters, while three-in-five (60%) disagree.

    likely to support oil tanker projects on the south

    B.C.'s south coast is home to approximately 80 resident orca whales. Marine biologists believe this endangered population could be pushed to
    extinction by a sharp increase in shipping activity. Thinking about this, would you be more or less likely to support oil tanker projects on the south
    coast?

    A majority of British Columbians who voted for the


    Liberal Party in last years federal election (58%) would
    consider Kinder Morgans approval as a contradiction
    of the current prime ministers campaign promises.

    During the last federal election campaign, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised leadership on climate change and a new relationship with
    First Nations. Thinking about this, do you agree or disagree with this statement? If the federal government approves the Kinder Morgan
    pipeline and oil tanker project, it would be a contradiction of Trudeau's promises.

    Three-in-ten Liberal voters in 2015 (31%) would be


    less likely to cast a ballot for the party again if the
    Kinder Morgan project is approved.
