An online survey by Leger reveals that over 70% of Canadians value family gatherings despite potential conflicts over politics and social issues, with 52% feeling more cautious in discussions than in previous years. Politics, money, and immigration are identified as the most contentious topics, with generational divides on controversial subjects like gender identity and religion. While 36% of respondents are willing to share opinions despite possible disputes, 24% prefer to change the topic. Similar sentiments are echoed in a U.S. survey, indicating common challenges in family discussions during the holiday season.
