A new survey suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the mental health of the majority of respondents.
Seventy-six per cent of people who responded to the online poll conducted by Angus Reid on behalf of United Way said that the pandemic had caused stress, anxiety or depression.
The survey also found that 19 per cent of respondents have been unable to pay at least one of their bills since the pandemic began.
Most of those people said they didn't have difficulty paying bills before the pandemic.
The survey was conducted online earlier this month in both English and French, with 1,530 people responding.
The polling industry's professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
