A new online survey shows more than half of Canadians report feeling anxious about returning to what life was like before the COVID-19 pandemic.
The poll by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies shows 52 per cent of people reported feeling some level of anxiety, with those aged 18 to 24 showing the highest levels of unease at 68 per cent.
"Maybe some of it is related to work, maybe some of it is related to, 'When we actually go back to normal, will it be safe? Will I feel comfortable around somebody not wearing a mask anymore?'" said Christian Bourque, executive vice-president of the polling and marketing research firm Leger.
