Canada Favours: Canadian Press and Ekos President

canada favours: Ekos and the Canadian Press surveyed 4,839 Canadians via telephone between Sept. 15 and Oct. 1 as part of an ongoing effort to understand whether the same drivers exist in Canada as those behind populist movements supporting a more isolationist viewpoint around the world, according to The Chronicle Herald. The results suggest Canada favours a more open approach 60 per cent of those asked don't want a Canada First foreign policy that mirrors the America First rallying cry that put Trump in office. But the results of the Ekos-Canadian Press survey don't necessarily mean Canadians' points of view are completely at odds with those who voted U.S. President Donald Trump into office, said Ekos president Frank Graves. Eighty per cent of those surveyed also disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job, and 52 per cent want to see Canada become less like the U.S. Canada is clearly pivoting open, you can make the case with some of the data on that, said Graves. It's not that clear. But if you look at more of the data, I'm not so sure. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
