It's not the economy and crime that are priorities for the Canadian people.    
   CLIMATE CHANGE and all of its inherent costs - both to health and the pocket   
   book - are what worries Canadians most.

   Who's got the election message Canadians want to hear?   
      
   When party leader Andrew Scheer released his emissions-reduction plan last   
   week, he made a point of saying Conservatives believe climate change is real.   
   And the survey points to what the party must also know — that climate change   
   is a higher-priority    
   issue in British Columbia and Quebec, where the Conservatives must do better   
   this fall than they did in 2015 in order to win.   
      
   More than 40 per cent of respondents in those two provinces list climate   
   change as a top-of-mind issue, compared to less than 30 per cent in the three   
   Prairie provinces, where Conservative support is traditionally strongest.   
      
   The poll also suggests Canadians are less concerned about other issues   
   championed by the Conservatives in the recent past.  Only 18 per cent list   
   deficits as a priority issue — suggesting Scheer's recent decision to scrap   
   his original promise to    
   balance the books in two years might not be an issue in the campaign — and   
   just three per cent point to crime and public safety as a priority.   
      
   Although two-thirds of the respondents believe New Democrats have lost their   
   way, the party remains the second choice among voters younger than 45, and 46   
   per cent say they believe NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh understands the average   
   Canadian family.   
      
   Greens, on the other hand, are seen as the most credible voices on climate   
   change and a third of those surveyed would consider voting Green to send a   
   message to the traditional parties.
