The Numbers: Will Trump's New Tariffs Move the Polls?
Or will they merely cause a shrug and eyeroll?
An otherwise relatively quiet political summer has been rocked again by U.S. President Donald Trump, as he is set to impose a new round of tariffs on Canada.
How might another tussle with the United States impact the polling numbers, which seemed to suggest the Liberals undergoing a modest softening in their support?
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe discuss the potential impact of another tariff fight on Mark Carney’s poll numbers. We also break down the results of a provincial by-election in Manitoba that has more good news for Premier Wab Kinew, and chat about some new polls on the popularity of premiers David Eby and Danielle Smith.
We then answer some member questions from the mailbag, with the full segment available exclusively to Patreon members.
