A survey conducted by Nanos Research and commissioned by CTV News suggests that Canadians are four times more likely to support decreasing trade ties with China, compared to those who support increased trade with the country. The survey asked 1,048 Canadian adults what Canada’s future trade relationship with China should be and 45 per cent responded that they believe Canada should decrease trade, while just 10 per cent said Canada should increase it. Additionally, 28 per cent of respondents said trade ties should remain the same, while another 17 per cent were unsure. When broken down by region, those in Ontario (46.6 per cent) and British Columbia (46.6 per cent) were most likely to suggest a decrease in trade with China, while 36.4 per cent of people in Quebec believe trade should remain at the current level.
