The Provincial Diversity Project is a survey aimed at comparing public opinions realities across provinces on identity and attachment, views about federalism, attitudes toward ethnic diversity and immigration, as well as views on social, economic and political issues. The Provincial Diversity Project is led by Antoine Bilodeau (Concordia University) along with Luc Turgeon (Ottawa), Stephen E. White (Carleton) and Ailsa Henderson (Edinburgh). The Provincial Diversity Project survey was conducted in the winter of 2014 among close to 10,000 Canadians through an internet survey conducted by Léger Marketing. The Provincial Diversity Project survey includes three components. A sample of 6400 Canadians stratified by province: 1000 respondents in each of Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia; 500 Canadians in each of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan; and 400 Canadians in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. [PROJ=2] An oversample of visible minority Canadians stratified by province with about 400 respondents in each of Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia.[PROJ=3] An oversample of young Canadians (aged 18 to 34) stratified by region: 350 respondents in each of the following regions: the Atlantic, Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia, and 500 respondents in Quebec. [PROJ=1] The Provincial Diversity Project was realized with the support of Concordia University, the Secrétariat aux affaires intergouvernementales canadiennes du Québec, the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society, the Institute for Research on Public Policy and the Chaire de recherche du Canada en études québécoises et canadiennes de l'UQAM.
