Using Statistics Canada’s newly developed online Canadian Perspective Survey, the authors examined how personal financial concerns can impact matters related to social cohesion. Factors considered include family stress from confinement, violence in the home, maintaining social ties, the ability to co-operate and support one another, and the risk of civil disorder. Seventeen percent of Canadians aged 25–64 reported that COVID-19 will have a major impact on their ability to meet their essential needs and financial obligations (e.g., mortgages and utilities); 25% reported that they would likely lose their main job or primary source of income. These groups were also more likely to be concerned about the social impacts of the pandemic. Immigrants and those with low levels of education reported greater social concerns compared to Canadian-born residents and those with more education.
