National Mood Hits New Low As Canadians Question Country’s Path

Nearly two-thirds of Canadians believe their country is moving in the wrong direction, reaching the highest level of pessimism since tracking began, according to a new Nanos Research poll released January 24.

The survey found 64% of respondents say Canada is on the wrong track, while just 23% believe the country is heading in the right direction. The remaining 13%, meanwhile, are unsure.

The pessimism runs deepest in Canada’s Prairie provinces, where 72% of residents say the country is moving in the wrong direction. This contrasts with somewhat lower, though still significant, levels of concern in Atlantic Canada (54%) and Quebec (59%).

The generational divide is equally striking. Younger Canadians aged 18-34 are more likely to express negativity about the country’s direction (70%) compared to those 55 and older (61%). Men (69%) are also more likely than women (60%) to say Canada is on the wrong track.

The same survey found that two-thirds of Canadians rate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government performance as poor or very poor, marking the lowest approval rating in 17 years of tracking.

The survey of 1,045 Canadians was conducted between December 30, 2024, and January 5, 2025, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
