People have been encouraged to “snitch” on those they see breaking the rules of self-isolation and social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
It appears that it is more likely for Canadians to do this than Americans, according to a new survey out from Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies.
Results from Leger’s tracking survey released on April 14 show that 40 percent of Canadians would inform authorities about others who aren't complying with anti-coronavirus measures, compared with just 27 percent of Americans.
A breakdown of the provinces shows that the most likely to snitch are Atlantic Canadians, with half saying they would. Quebec was close behind at 48 percent.
Next came Manitoba and Saskatchewan, both at 45 percent. Then Ontario with 37 percent.
The survey also found that 65 percent of Canadians who were polled said they were concerned about the coronavirus outbreak in the US affecting Canada.
There were 1,508 Canadians and 1,012 Americans polled for the survey.
