Stratified random sampling is the best choice for ensuring that the study reflects all the important characteristics of the population. This method involves dividing the population into different subgroups (strata) that are relevant to the study (e.g., by age, gender, region) and then randomly selecting samples from each of these strata. This approach ensures that all significant segments of the population are represented in the sample, making the results more generalizable to the entire Canadian citizenry.
