Over 75% of Canadians Want US Trade Talks Ended, Poll Finds
A poll reveals more than three-quarters of Canadians support ending trade talks with the US, signaling strong public pressure on the government.
A significant majority of Canadians are in favor of terminating ongoing trade negotiations with the United States, according to a new opinion poll. The survey found that over 75 percent of respondents support ending the talks, indicating a strong shift in public sentiment toward a more hardline stance against Washington.
The findings come amid heightened trade tensions between the two neighboring countries, with disputes over tariffs and market access dominating the bilateral agenda. The poll suggests that the Canadian public is increasingly skeptical of reaching a favorable deal through continued dialogue, with many preferring to walk away from the table altogether.
The results reflect growing frustration among Canadians, who appear to view the negotiations as unfavorable or unproductive. While the poll does not specify the exact reasons behind this sentiment, it underscores a broader mood of economic nationalism and a desire for greater self-reliance in trade policy.
The Canadian government has not yet responded to the poll, but the data is likely to influence political calculations in Ottawa. With public opinion firmly against the talks, policymakers may face mounting pressure to adopt a more assertive posture in future dealings with the US.
The survey was conducted across multiple regions of Canada, capturing a wide cross-section of public opinion. The exact margin of error and sample size were not disclosed in the available information.
