Canadians support actions against Russia over Ukraine, but have economic concerns: poll
Forty-seven per cent of Canadians who answered the poll said they were willing to pay higher gas prices due to Canada’s sanctions against Russia, compared to 53 per cent who disagreed.
But Simpson said the gap has been seen throughout the past two years of the pandemic as inflation and job losses mount. “There is an acknowledgment in the polling that it’s still the right thing to do, that the sanctions are hurting Russia,” Simpson said. But Simpson says the boost for Trudeau from the mid-40s level he had two weeks ago is likely to be short-lived.
