Nanos: Anger at Canada's government at six-year high | TREND LINE

welcome to the CTV News Trend Line with Michael SLE and Nick Nanos uh Nick, you know, there's a lot of palpable pessimism, um, uh, I guess you could say, especially among the young voters of Youth Canada, you've been making a follow-up. Continue with that feeling too and what have you found? Yeah, this is kind of what I'm going to call it the Citizen Nanos Therapy Couch. We asked people what emotions they would use to describe how they feel about the

government

in Ottawa, no. the liberals are right or wrong, Justin Trudeau, in general, the Ottawa

government

are like two positive things,

anger

and pessimism, eh, those are the two things, sorry, two negative things, the two positive things are optimism and contentment , and then there is the kind of dentest who is kind.

In between, what we've seen is that the

anger

quotient has hit a new

high

in our tracking of this. About 31% of Canadians say they would use words like anger to describe how they feel about the federal government being in full swing. six percentage points and you know that anger quotient, Michael, if you're from the West, like Alberta, Gatan, Manitoba, you're very angry. 45% of Canadians in those provinces would use the word anger. Pessimism is also significant, and you know the other thing. In the case of young people, one of the things we are seeing is that they are becoming more and more disinterested, it is as if they are disconnecting because they are very upset with the way things are and, you know, the disinterest at the national level is present. 11% among young people, 177%, but right now only 21% of Canadians say they are satisfied or optimistic.

More than six in 10 would use words like pessimism or anger to describe how they feel in terms of the government in Ottawa, I mean, it's a big challenge for the parties, you know, potentially going into a federal election, you know, in next

year

, I mean, how do you react to that, especially if you're the Liberal government? in the budget we just saw or another major party, so the big question is: This poll was done for Bloomberg before the federal budget was released. The question is: does the budget really change anything? They are angry and pessimistic, liberals are like Charlie Brown's teacher now, where people are so angry and pessimistic that they just don't listen to what they have to say.

I think that's the challenge that liberals have. However, if you are the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, you are trying to ride this wave of anger because you know that if people are angry, you don't have to worry about calling them to remind them to vote because they are angry, they will go out and they will go out and they will want to. punish the government in power, so for Pier Pia, the leader of the conservative party, he is probably looking at numbers like this and thinking how can we stoke the anger? How can we stoke pessimism?

And to create the conditions for a time-based election for change, at least if you're the conservatives and then if you're the liberals, you probably mean. This is a bad time for change or the other change is not a good change and that will probably be the main battleground, but these sentiments really give a sense of where people are right now when it comes to government. in ottawa
