- Mark Carney retains strong public support despite overseeing the weakest GDP growth for a Canadian prime minister since 1963.
- Real GDP contracted by 0.05% in his first year, contrasting with positive growth under former leaders Harper and Trudeau.
- Reduced immigration, US trade tensions, and weaker consumer spending have contributed to economic slowdown.
- Most Canadians attribute economic difficulties to external global issues rather than Carney’s leadership.
The uncertainty in the Canada—U.S. relationship — largely driven by Trump’s negotiation strategy — has likely diverted attention from the Carney government to the Trump administration.— Nik Nanos, chief data scientist at the polling firm, commenting on the Canada–U.S. relationship and Trump's negotiation strategy.
