Vast Majority of Canadians Still Support Boycott of U.S. Goods, Travel, Finds Survey

By

The vast majority of Canadians, or 82%, still think the boycott of United States goods and travel to that country helps strengthen Canada's bargaining position, finds a new survey released on Friday.

The survey by Nanos Research for CTV News finds that 53% belive the boycott is "helpful," while for 29% it's "somewhat helpful" and 11% think it is "not helpful." The results are very similar to a survey carried out in October 2025.

The Nanos Research survey of 1,003 Canadians was carried out between Sunday and Wednesday, with a margin of error of more or less 3.1 percentage points.

Canada's Regional Outlook Changes With High Energy Prices From Middle East Conflict, Says National Bank

United States tariffs remain topical for Canadian provinces, especially with the upcoming CUSMA trade deal review, but regional outlooks have also been sharply recast since the onset of the Iran war, said National Bank of Canada.Combined with acute / targeted damage stemming from U.S. trade protectionism, the oil price shock threatens to exacerbate regional differences in economic and fiscal performance, noted the bank.Economic concentration has proven itself a reliable indicator of the volatility in provincial growth and finances, the bank pointed out. Traditionally 'diverse' economies may not benefit from budgetary tailwinds to the same degree as resource /oil-levered provinces, and are also likely to continue facing tariff-related headwinds.Others, with less exposure to the manufacturing sector, will remain relatively shielded, assuming CUSMA remains intact, it added.To this end, National Bank stresses the importance of looking at Canada's tariff exposure through a regional / sectoral lens.

Canada's Mortgage Delinquencies Are Rising Fastest in Ontario, Says Desjardins

Mortgage delinquencies are rising fastest in Canadian markets where new mortgage sizes increased the most during the COVID-19 pandemic, said Desjardins.Ontario metropolitan areas saw the largest jumps in average new mortgage sizes from early 2020 to the end of 2021 and more recently have seen a disproportionate increase in mortgage arrears, noted the bank.Given Ontario's exposure to slower population growth, higher oil prices and the CUSMA trade deal review, housing markets in the province could continue to face headwinds over the rest of the year, stated Desjardins.
