Episode Details

In major Canadian politics news, poll after poll indicates Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent actions, speeches and policies in light of Trump’s economic threats has boosted popularity of the Liberals across provinces and parties. The growing gap between Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre is undeniable. Let’s breakdown the data in today’s Canada news update.

“61% have a positive view of Carney personally, compared to 39% who feel the same way about Conservative leader Poilievre. This is a yawning gap, similar to the advantage Poilievre had over Justin Trudeau a year ago.” - Bruce Anderson, Spark Advocacy Insights Bruce Anderson
