Poll suggests Canadians worry about U.S. relationship as Liberals choose a new leader
A new poll suggests most Canadians are concerned about the federal government’s ability to handle Canada-U.S. relations while the Liberals choose their next leader — and that many Liberal supporters would prefer former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney to be that leader.
Polling firm Leger surveyed 1,545 people over the weekend, asking a range of questions about who should replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, how Canadians are feeling about the transition and the timing of the next election.
In all, 78 per cent of respondents said they were concerned about the government’s ability to manage the relationship with the incoming administration of Donald Trump.
Trump has vowed to impose 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Canada when he takes office on Jan. 20.
