In understanding the differences between the "spend and share" public mood of the 1960s and the "sink or swim" attitudes of the 1990s, four distinct reasons for the change in public opinion can be listed. Canadians in the 1990s witnessed a great call for change and shift toward the sink or swim mentality, and this can be largely attributed to: issues of national identity, anxiety over jobs, the emerging of the global economy, and new technologies and fundamentally different demographic forces rapidly changing these Canadians' respective social space (Reid, 1996, p.5).
