Canada

In the wake of high inflation, Canadians find themselves facing a twofold dilemma, one that not only burdens their wallets but also takes a toll on their mental health, according to a recent Ipsos poll.

The poll, released Monday and commissioned by MNP Ltd., found that higher costs and interest rates are causing “inflation isolation,” as more than half of the respondents (51 per cent) said they are staying home more to save money.

If the next election were to happen now, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would lose a majority of the 34 ridings that brought the Liberals to power in the 2015 election and has kept the Conservatives out of power since, according to a new poll.

“It’s a Liberal slaughter,” said Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research that conducted this poll, in an interview with The Hill Times. “The Tories are not just winning the battleground seats of the past couple elections, they’re winning those the CPC-Liberal defector seats that really changed the game [for the Liberals] in 2015. …Generally speaking, if you’re a Liberal in on one of these seats, odds are you’d lose.”

As Canadian academics and activists have churned out a slew of petitions and statements calling Israel an illegitimate state deserving of violent “resistance,” not a few observers have noted that these declarations almost always express the same sentiment for Canada itself. 

The quantity of progressive bullshit subsidized by the tax payer is overwhelming. We need to fumigate our universities.

Less than 50 percent of Canadians say they believe the government respects rights and freedoms, according to a report from the Public Safety Ministry.

The Departmental Results Report, which looks at the performance and results of the ministry and compares it to the targets set, found that 43 percent of the population think the federal government “respects individual rights and freedoms while ensuring the safety of Canadians.”

From November 15 to 22 2023, Abacus Data conducted a national survey of 3,450 adults that asked Canadians how they would vote if an election was held at the time of the survey as part of our regular national omnibus surveys.

In this report, we share results of that survey and take advantage of the large sample size to explore demographic, regional, and socio-economic factors correlated with vote in more detail than usual.
