Nanos polling for the CBC—see here and here —finds a plurality of Canadians consider the NDP to be the party most sensitive to the needs of seniors, students, new Canadians and the unemployed. The Conservatives are deemed most sensitive to the needs of small business.
I think I’d like whether Canadians just generally associate the NDP with the adjective “sensitive.”
This 2010 poll by Abacus suggests that could be the case: “On the positive side, the NDP was identified as being in touch with Canadians, honest, having a good leader, and standing up for working people.”
