According to BlockBeats, on March 4, Canadian political figures have advocated for imposing strict retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods entering the country. The Angus Reid Institute, Canada's most renowned independent polling organization, reported an increase in voters supporting retaliatory measures against U.S. tariffs over the past month.
Two-thirds of Canadians now back a 25% tariff on all U.S. imports, up from 60% in January. Additionally, nearly two-thirds (65%) support banning key Canadian exports to the U.S., such as oil and minerals. The poll indicates that only 24% of Canadians currently hold a favorable view of the United States, a significant drop from 58% approximately two years ago.
U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade policies have altered Canada's political landscape, providing a lifeline to the ruling Liberal Party, which seemed poised for a significant defeat in this year's elections just a few months ago.
