From May 12 to 18, 9,659 Ontarians participated in this week’s polling, which offered insight into the province’s mood on a range of hot-button issues—from calls for a new holiday and political confidence to city growth and controversial developments at Ontario Place.

Here’s what the numbers and responses reveal:

Should Ontario introduce a provincial holiday in the fall (between Thanksgiving and Christmas)?2,069 votes

Yes – we need a break before winter: 65.6% (1,357 votes)No – there are already enough holidays: 34.4% (712 votes)

Support for a fall holiday is growing stronger, with nearly two-thirds of respondents saying Ontario needs a break between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many cite burnout and the long stretch without time off before winter.

Takeaway:There’s a growing appetite for a new long weekend—perhaps a “Wellness Day” or “Community Break”—that would offer workers relief during one of the busiest stretches of the year.
