the majority of canadians report feeling optimistic about the new year in light of the covid-19 vaccines, according to a new online survey.
a report commissioned by the association for canadian studies and conducted by leger said 70 per cent of those polled said they were somewhat optimistic about 2021, while 15 per cent reported feeling very optimistic .
those who described themselves as very optimistic were the most likely to say they will get immunized once a shot is publicly available.
more than 88 per cent of them said they would get the vaccine, compared with roughly 72 per cent of the somewhat optimistic respondents, 25 per cent of the somewhat pessimistic and just over six per cent of the very pessimistic.
