Trudeau trails Tory leader as most trusted inflation fighter
BNN Bloomberg
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is beating Prime Minster Justin Trudeau on Canada’s top economic issue, just over a month after taking the reins of the main opposition party.
Polling by Nanos Research Group for Bloomberg News shows 30 per cent of Canadians rank Poilievre as the leader most trusted to reduce inflation, compared with 22 per cent for Trudeau and 10 per cent for Jagmeet Singh of the left-leaning New Democratic Party.
Poilievre’s lead illustrates the extent to which the Conservative chief has been able to distinguish himself on the issue, focusing on cost of living during his campaign for the party leadership and hammering both the prime minister and central bank on it.
Nearly a fifth of Canadians don’t trust any of the major party leaders to curb inflation.
