3 in 4 Canadians believe that keeping U.S. liquor out of government owned liquor stores is the best path forward for provincial governments, while less than one in five (18%) say provincial governments should put U.S. liquor back on the shelves.
Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,104 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, from July 28 to 30, 2026 as part of an omnibus survey. The sample included both land- and cell-lines across Canada. The results were statistically checked and weighted by age and gender using the latest Census information and the sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Canada.
Individuals randomly called using random digit dialling with a maximum of five call backs. The margin of error for this survey is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
This study was commissioned by the Bloomberg and the research was conducted by Nanos Research.
