Support for this is especially high among Liberal voters at 91 per cent and in British Columbia, 80 per cent, where the economy is less dependent on trade with the U.S.<\/p>\nPrime Minister Justin Trudeau has said if Trump\u2019s tariffs do go into force, Ottawa will retaliate with duties of its own on up to $155 billion in U.S. products.<\/p>\nWhether they fear Canada will be absorbed into the United States or not, Trump\u2019s attack on America\u2019s largest trading partner has angered Canadians and fuelled a wave of patriotism.<\/p>\nSeventy-seven per cent of respondents in the Leger poll said they had an unfavourable impression of Trump with only 14 per cent saying their impression was favourable. That percentage rises with Liberal voters, with 93 per cent giving Trump the thumbs down and falls for Conservative voters, with 57 per cent saying they have a negative impression.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\nPosthaste<\/p>\nBreaking business news, incisive views, must-reads and market signals.

The majority of Canadians surveyed by public opinion research firm Leger Marketing, 83 per cent, are concerned that Trump will use the tariffs to push for a \u201ccloser and more formal economic relationship with the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fear is widespread across the country, reaching its highest at 85 per cent in the Atlantic provinces and lowest in Ontario at 81 per cent.<\/p>\n
In response to this threat, 73 per cent of Canadians support a policy where Canada matches any tariffs imposed by the U.S. on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Support for this is especially high among Liberal voters at 91 per cent and in British Columbia, 80 per cent, where the economy is less dependent on trade with the U.S.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said if Trump\u2019s tariffs do go into force, Ottawa will retaliate with duties of its own on up to $155 billion in U.S. products.<\/p>\n
Whether they fear Canada will be absorbed into the United States or not, Trump\u2019s attack on America\u2019s largest trading partner has angered Canadians and fuelled a wave of patriotism.<\/p>\n
Seventy-seven per cent of respondents in the Leger poll said they had an unfavourable impression of Trump with only 14 per cent saying their impression was favourable.
