49% : VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- More than 4-in-10 Canadians -- and half of younger Canadians aged 18-24 -- support socialism as their preferred economic system, but an overwhelming majority define socialism as more government spending and programs, and Canadians generally don't want to pay the higher taxes required to finance it, finds a new study by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank, working in conjunction with think tanks in the U.S., Australia and the U.K.
