Nearly two thirds of Canadians saying they harbour primarily negative feelings towards those in power.
A survey recently conducted by Nanos Research found that anger and pessimism towards the Trudeau Liberal-NDP coalition have reached their highest levels since 2018, with nearly two thirds of Canadians saying they harbour primarily negative feelings towards those in power.
During that same time period, optimism and satisfaction with the federal government has continued to fall.
Of the 1069 respondents surveyed between March 31 and April 1, 31 percent said “anger” best described their views of the federal government, while another 31 percent said “pessimism.”
Just 10 percent said “optimism,” while 11 percent said “satisfaction.” The remaining 17 percent chose either “disinterest” or “unsure.”
Although the prairie provinces were by far home to the most angry respondents, 44.6 percent, Ontarians and British Columbians were most pessimistic, at 33.8 and 32.1 percent, respectively.
