Many Canadians Losing Confidence in Future of Trade Relationship with U.S.: Poll
- A Leger poll conducted from May 30 to June 1 shows 38% of Canadians feel less confident about Canada-U.S. trade relations.
- This decline comes after a recent decision by the specialized trade court halted Trump's tariffs, although a federal appeals court has since issued a temporary stay on that ruling.
- The court ruled Trump exceeded his authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, limiting presidential discretion over tariffs.
- Poll results indicate 45% of Canadians trust U.S. Democratic institutions more due to courts limiting Trump’s trade powers, while 48% of Albertans feel less confident about trade.
- The poll suggests uncertainties remain and restoring confidence in Canada-U.S. Trade relations will require time and continued legal clarity.
