It has long been the belief that Canadians are largely blind to maritime issues and uninformed about our economic dependency on the maritime sector. A recent poll conducted by Angus Reid on behalf of the ClearSeas organization provides a much more positive view of Canadians' understanding of the maritime economy. Most are well aware of the scope and volume of shipping both for export and import; most are sensitive to the impact of shipping delays on supply chains; most express positive views of the national regulation of the maritime industry; most are "clear eyed" about the risks and hazards associated with shipping; and, remarkably, nearly a quarter of those surveyed express and interest in maritime careers.
An interesting insight into a vital element of the Canadian economy.
One thought on “Not So Sea-blind”
And interest should be an interest.
