Canadian Pride Grows as Tensions with US Escalate, Poll Reveals

A recent Ipsos poll highlights a significant shift in Canadian attitudes towards the United States amid ongoing trade tensions. With U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies influencing public opinion, an increasing majority of Canadians are now avoiding U.S. goods and travel. The survey, timed with Canada Day, shows that approximately three-quarters of Canadians plan to steer clear of U.S. travel, marking a 10-point increase since February. Additionally, the avoidance of U.S.-made goods has seen a 5-point rise to 72 percent. This report delves into the surge of Canadian pride and the factors driving these changing consumer behaviors.
