Canadians\u2019 trust in their southern neighbour has taken a major hit following months of sweeping tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as several threats to Canadian sovereignty.<\/p>\n
This new poll<\/a>, conducted by Ipsos for Global News, found that 60 percent of Canadians say they can never trust the U.S.\u00a0 the same way ever again.<\/p>\n \u201cIt looks to me, based on these data, that Canadians feel that their relationship with the United States has changed in a fundamental way,\u201d said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos, to Global News. \u201cThey\u2019re looking for Canada to create something that protects our own sovereignty within a North American context and make sure that we\u2019re able to survive on this part of the continent that we live on as an independent country.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trump first imposed tariffs on Canada in March 2025, triggering a prolonged period of heavy friction between the two countries. Trump has also made repeated public comments<\/a> about annexing Canada and making it the 51st American state. Trump has indicated<\/a> on numerous occasions that the best way to eliminate tariffs on Canada is for Canada to become the 51st state. The questions of how to protect Canada\u2019s sovereignty and how to manage relations with the U.S. government were so prominent amongst Canadians that they were effectively the top ballot box questions in the last federal election.<\/p>\n The Ipsos poll also found that over 70 percent of Canadians believe these trade disputes are likely to persist for years. Canadians remain divided over Ottawa\u2019s handling of the situation: about half (51 percent) approve of how Prime Minister Mark Carney and the federal government are managing Canada\u2013U.S. relations, while one-third (32 percent) disapprove, and 18 percent remain unsure.<\/p>\n \n Continue reading\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is The Week in Polling, your Saturday dose of interesting numbers from top pollsters in Canada and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[45,49,48,124],"class_list":{"0":"post-158989","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jobs","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-jobs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Hub_Quiz_Aug2025_banner_1400x356_v2a.jpg\")
