Canadians are not feeling the trust with their neighbours south of the border after months of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada, new polling by Ipsos conducted exclusively for Global News has showed.
Six in 10 Canadians (60 per cent) say they can never trust the Americans the same way ever again, the poll found.
“It looks to me, based on these data, that Canadians feel that their relationship with the United States has changed in a fundamental way,” Ipsos Public Affairs CEO Darrell Bricker said.
“They’re looking for Canada to create something that protects our own sovereignty within a North American context and make sure that we’re able to survive on this part of the continent that we live on as an independent country.”
In March, Trump imposed his first round of tariffs on Canada. This was followed by months of on-again-off-again tariffs, counter-tariffs and trade uncertainty between Canada and its biggest trading partner, along with repeated remarks by Trump about annexing Canada.

Around half (51 per cent) said they approve of the way Carney and the federal government are managing Canada – U.S. relations, while one-third (32 per cent) disapprove and 18 per cent are not sure.
