OTTAWA—As Canadian politicians jockey to position themselves as the best to deal with a mercurial incoming U.S. president Donald Trump, a wary Canadian public is cool to any compromises and supports a tough approach, according to a pair of new polls.
Many Canadians — 40 per cent — are prepared to cut Mexico loose in any trade talks Canada has with the United States, and most — 56 per cent — are not prepared to welcome any influx of migrants fleeing northward to escape Trump’s threatened mass deportation orders, according to an Abacus Data poll over the last week shared with the Star.
