How gratifying that Pierce won by a larger margin in his category than fidelity, porn & sex toys, believing in God and buying your own post it notes. 
What matters most to Canadian women?
Love, sex, faith, family and more: the results of a Chatelaine survey, captured in a 14-page special report, will surprise
TORONTO, Aug. 28 /CNW/ - About one in five Canadian women admits to cheating on her partner. Yet almost 70 percent of women claim to buy their own Post-it(R) notes rather than steal from the office. Almost half think that the environment is the most important issue of our time - which puts the issue ahead of gender equality, terrorism, and gay rights. Almost 20 percent have had 10 or more sexual partners in their lifetimes and, when given the choice, 80 percent of Canadian women would rather have dinner with former 007 Pierce Brosnan than with current 007 Daniel Craig.
The state of the Canadian woman
In the issue arriving on newsstands across Canada starting this week, Chatelaine presents The State of the Canadian Woman. We asked members of the Chatelaine Feedback Panel to tell us about their beliefs, habits, ambitions, and fears. Results are based on the opinions of 3,560 members of the feedback panel, who responded to the online survey during the period of March 8 to 16, 2007. The results reveal that women would rather be the CEO of a major company than the next Canadian Idol and that they are more concerned about the future than about the present. Other highlights from the survey include:
Love:
- 48 percent of Canadian women believe that "true love" is the key to happiness - more than careers or finances.
- Loyalty is the attribute valued most in a spouse or partner, scoring highest in 48 percent of women (vs. 29 percent for sense of humour and 21 percent for sensitivity).
Sex:
- More women in Quebec have cheated on their spouse or partner (27 percent) than in any other province. The most faithful women in the country are in Alberta where only 14 percent have cheated.
- 72 percent of Canadian women have watched porn or used a sex toy.
Society:
- A shocking 44 percent of women have driven a car while slightly inebriated.
- 73 percent of women polled describe themselves as believers in God.
- Nearly half of all respondents believe the environment is the most pressing issue of the day.
Health
- One in 10 Canadian women uses marijuana.
- Women surveyed are more concerned about earning enough money for their family's future security than being stricken with a serious illness.
- Assuming they have identical qualifications, 84 percent of women would rather visit a female doctor over a male doctor.
