Most Canadians Back US Tariff Retaliation as Confidence Slips for Carney to Get a Good Deal, Survey Finds

By

A new poll suggests the majority of Canadians favor retaliatory measures in response to the latest US tariff announcement, according to a survey from Angus Reid Institute released on Monday.

The survey found that 62% of respondents support counter-tariffs, with 34% favoring dollar-for-dollar retaliation and 28% preferring a more targeted response.

By contrast, 26% oppose retaliatory tariffs, including 19% who favor continued negotiations and 7% who support concessions to avoid the measures, said Angus Reid.

Confidence in Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's negotiating team delivering a good deal with the US weakened to 43% from 51% in April, while few Canadians believe US President Donald Trump would honor any agreement reached, added Angus Reid.

The survey was conducted between Thursday and Saturday, with 1,790 respondents taking part.
