Donald Trump’s tariff threats and controversial comments about making Canada the 51st state have sparked widespread anger among Canadians. A new Ipsos poll for Global News reveals that 68% of Canadians now view the U.S. more negatively, with 46% expressing strong negative feelings. This sentiment has fueled a “Buy Canadian” movement, with two-thirds pledging to avoid U.S. goods and travel.
Older Canadians, particularly snowbirds, are the most upset, likely due to their historical perspective on U.S.-Canada relations. Economic concerns are also prevalent, with nearly 60% worried about their financial situation due to Trump’s actions. Many are calling for federal subsidies akin to COVID-19 relief programs to protect workers affected by tariffs.
Though a temporary 30-day pause on tariffs has been negotiated, confidence in Canadian political leaders to manage Trump remains divided. Just under half expressed optimism, while 38% were skeptical. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has seized the moment to secure a stronger mandate against tariff threats, while western provinces like Alberta maintain distrust toward the federal government.
With Canadian-American relations taking center stage, political leaders face mounting pressure to prove their capability in navigating this turbulent cross-border landscape.
