INTRODUCTION Angus Reid Institute is a national, not-for-profit, non-partisan public opinion research organization. This study looks at the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, the US Senate s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline, opinions about falling gas prices and views on energy policy in Canada. Queen s University Library (QUL) Data Services worked collaboratively with Angus Reid Institute to document and archive the dataset described here. QUL is grateful to Angus Reid Institute for their commitment to providing broad and open access to this dataset. METADATA Dataset Number of Cases = 1504 Number of Variables = 52 Universe Individuals 18 years and older who are members of the Angus Reid Forum panel. Geography Canada Date of Collection November 25-28, 2014 Mode of data collection Online survey Sampling procedure 1504 Canadians adults were randomly selected from Angus Reid Forum panel members. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5%, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. Mode of data collection Online survey Characteristics of the data collection situation This survey was conducted in conjunction with the Assisted Suicide, 2014, survey. The dataset was received by Data Services, Queen s University Library, as one dataset. Questions Q1-Q14 concerns Assisted Suicide, 2014, survey and questions P1-P8 the Energy, 2014 survey. Data processing notes The combined dataset was split by Data Services, Queen s University Library, into two datasets. The demographic variables are the same for each dataset. The variable numbering from the original combined dataset was maintained in each dataset. 2

Putting this another way, in shaping Canada s energy policy, what do you see as the biggest priority: Protecting the environment Encouraging economic growth 3. As you may have heard, just last week, the Keystone XL Pipeline failed to get the necessary votes to pass the US Senate and therefore, it still lacks approval to proceed. In your view, overall, is this recent "No" vote on the Keystone Pipeline good news or bad news for: Canada The Canadian economy The environment Canada- US relations Good news Bad news Not Sure 4. And, what do you think will ultimately happen with the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline? Do you think: It will go ahead soon, within the next few years It will probably go ahead at some point It will likely never happen 5. How closely have you been following the Kinder Morgan protests in Burnaby, British Columbia? Very closely - - Read a lot of stories and discussed it with friends and family Closely following the issue, and having the odd conversation about it Not following that closely, just scanning the headlines Not following it at all 4

Finally, in other news, gas prices at the pump are now at the lowest point in four years, down roughly 30 percent from this summer. What kind of impact, if any, do these lower gas prices mean for you personally? No impact at all Very minor Some impact - - I notice it A major impact - - I definitely feel the savings 5
