A few weeks ago we asked a question — will Mark Carney get another Trump bump?
Well, we have the answer. And the answer is a resounding yes.
Recent polls show that support for Mark Carney personally and for the Liberals more broadly has increased over the last few weeks as Canadians get behind the prime minister’s decision to cease trade negotiations with the United States. Polls also show that Canadians support counter-tariffs and no compromise with the Americans, a feeling that is unlikely to dissipate as the Trump administration continues to insult and belittle the country.
This week on The Numbers, we delve into the latest federal polls. We also take a look at the ongoing struggles of Pierre Poilievre as his party falls further back.
Plus, we break down the latest in the Quebec election campaign and give our thoughts on what to make of the three Ontario provincial by-elections that occurred last week.
