Many Canadians Losing Confidence in Future of Trade Relationship with U.S.: Poll
- A recent online Leger poll surveyed over 1,500 Canadians and 1,000 Americans between May 30 and June 1, 2025, about Canada-U.S. trade confidence.
- The poll follows legal battles over Trump's tariffs, including a U.S. Court of International Trade ruling last week that blocked some tariffs before a federal appeals court paused that decision.
- The poll revealed that 38% of Canadians and 36% of Americans have diminished trust in the prospects of trade partnerships moving forward, with nearly half of Albertans—48%—expressing the lowest levels of optimism regarding Canada-U.S. and international trade relations.
- A significant portion of Canadians, especially those aged 55 and older, reported that court efforts to restrict Trump's authority over trade policies have boosted their confidence in the democratic system of the United States, with 45% of all Canadians sharing this sentiment.
- The poll suggests ongoing court rulings have unsettled public confidence in Canada-U.S. trade and indicate it will take time to rebuild trust in trade relations and U.S. policy stability.
