How are you feeling about the economy and politics?

Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reid Institute, offers a keen analysis of Canadian sentiments in the wake of a tumultuous year. She highlights that Canadians feel exhausted and disoriented, with ongoing concerns around housing, cost of living, and health care. There's a notable shift towards increased defense spending and diversifying trade partners away from the U.S. Additionally, Kurl explores growing skepticism towards immigration, the political effects of figures like Trump and Carney, and the potential for an early election.
