Canada’s Angus Reid Institute poll finds that 76% of respondents say the country’s decision to end U.S. trade negotiations was the right call. The poll measures approval in terms of refusing the terms offered and ending negotiations without a trade agreement.
The same survey indicates many Canadians feel they have little influence over whether a trade deal could be reached, with 59% reporting they have “not very much” or “no control at all.” The outlets frame the results as public support for Canada’s position in the negotiations, alongside uncertainty about Canadians’ ability to affect outcomes. Both sources present the figures as survey-based sentiment rather than a direct measure of trade policy results.
