Southwestern Ontario residents do not seem to be pleased with the provincial government’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, according to a new poll.
A survey, conducted on behalf of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) for its Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, asked seven questions to almost 600 residents of London, Waterloo Region, Guelph and Stratford.
About 58 per cent of those who responded to the poll at the beginning of May said the government did not plan properly for the pandemic.
Breaking down the numbers further, 67 per cent of Guelph respondents, 54 per cent of Waterloo respondents, 61 per cent of London respondents and 49 per cent of Stratford respondents said the government did not plan properly.
