A new poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute reveals significant public support in Canada for the government's decision to terminate trade negotiations with the United States. According to the survey, 76 percent of Canadians believe that refusing the terms offered by the U.S. and ending the talks without a formal agreement was the correct course of action.

While the data highlights a strong consensus among those polled, the survey results represent a snapshot of public sentiment regarding the breakdown of diplomatic trade discussions. The remaining respondents were divided between those who disagreed with the decision and those who remained undecided or did not provide an opinion. The poll focuses on the perceived justification for the government's stance, reflecting a national mood that prioritizes domestic interests over the completion of a trade deal under the proposed conditions.

Because this report relies on a single source, there is no conflicting data regarding the poll's methodology or the specific breakdown of the remaining 11 percent of respondents. The findings suggest that the Canadian public is largely aligned with the government's refusal to accept the specific trade terms presented by American negotiators, viewing the end of talks as a protective measure rather than a diplomatic failure.
