The Monthly Rundown
It was a busy month — smoke-filled skies, a fresh tariff threat, and a widening AI divide all shaped how Canadians see the country’s direction. Here are five numbers that stood out.
62%
01/ Trade & Tariffs
want Canada to hit back with counter-tariffs on the latest Trump threat

Support holds even in B.C. itself (62%), a province where pipeline opposition has been the norm for two decades. Notably, even half of Canadians who call climate change a crisis back the project.
56%
04 / Climate Change

56%
05 / Economy & Work
