The Numbers: Carney's Delicate Balancing Act with Trump
And election day in Newfoundland and Labrador!
The polls continue to show a narrow, but diminishing, advantage for Mark Carney’s Liberals. But the polls also show that Canadians hold some complicated, and at terms contradictory, views when it comes to the United States and the prime minister’s relationship with Donald Trump.
It’s a delicate balancing act for Carney — one that could easily go badly for the Liberals if they risked (or were forced into) an election in the fall.
The week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe talk about the federal polling landscape and what it shows about Canadians’ views on our relations with the United States.
We also take one last look at the Newfoundland and Labrador provincial election, as well as what the polls are showing ahead of next week’s mayoral elections in Calgary and Edmonton.
Then, we close with a Quiz.
