TORONTO -- New polling data from Nanos Research, commissioned by CTV News, reveals Canadians' thoughts on the upcoming federal budget, carbon pricing and the idea of returning Meng Wanzhou to China in exchange for the freedom of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.
The latest survey, which took place between March 27 and March 30, reveals that 35 per cent of those surveyed are now in favour of the trade – more than double the figure from nine months earlier – while 23 per cent say they are somewhat in support. Twelve per cent of respondents said they somewhat oppose the idea, while 23 per cent oppose it.Kovrig and Spavor have been in custody in China since December 2018.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled last month that the federal government does have the jurisdiction to impose a carbon-pricing system on the provinces. Men were much more likely than women to say they would vote against a candidate whose party supports carbon pricing – 29.9 per cent to 19.1 per cent.Asked about whether it is more important to them that their government be "running a budget deficit to invest in programs for Canadians or balancing the budget to ease the tax burden on Canadians," there was an even split, with 46 per cent of respondents answering each way.
Six provinces have released their 2021 budgets thus far. All of them are projecting deficits for this year, largely because of pandemic-related spending measures. The federal budget will be delivered April 19.
No they are not we want a PM who stands up to China not a door mat!!!!
Here are the reasons Canada should trade her for the Michaels BEFORE we have to release her ANYWAY: There is no case for extradition.
Who cares? Nanos makes up questions & some people answer them. The results are a waste of time & waste of money.
No we are not!
So anytime Canada lawfully arrests a Chinese person in Canada, all China has to do is kidnap 2 Canadians and hold them hostage under this country caves in? duress101
Canadians warming to the idea CTV is shit
This is Justin's problem, nothing to do with Canadian people.
Communist China regime must be held accountable and eradicated
Get rid of her in a swap with the provision she never steps foot in Canada again, make that anyone from communist China.
Try and not repeat the vaccine farce. Make sure that you actually get the people sent to Canada....
No trade otherwise it'll be a technique that will rear it's ugly head again in the future. Anyone notice the smirk on her face?
She lives in a mansion, the 2 Michaels live in a deplorable prison in isolation. What’s wrong with this picture justintrudeau
Yes the CCP are outstanding political figures.
By the way, she is the definition of a narcissistic sociopath. It has NOTHING to do with racism. 1. Gullibility, 2. Greed from Meng Wanzhou Chief Financial Officer of Huawei.
Come on my fellow Canadians, if you are for swapping prisoners,you are encouraging the virulent and barbaric Chinese regime in its hostage diplomacy. More people, Canadian or otherwise, would be subject to the same threat and harm. Once you pay ransom, kidnappers would do more.
But...what if the two Michael’s are really spies?
How many Chinese are in Richmond? Start locking them up one by one. Sentence them to hard labour for the hell of it and bring Canadians home from disgusting China
Good Get er dunn
Ms. Meng is not a prisoner. She has not broken any Canadian law and is not being held for trial in Canada. Why is niknanos validated by misleading Canadians?
Prisoner swap?! Who are we?
Thankfully we have representative government.
Should have had a Bridge of Spies swap 2 yrs ago. No one person is worth the billions in trade damage this has caused. US has stabbed Canada in the back repeatedly on trade issues. Let them take care of their own issues with China.
Throw her in a federal penitentiary and put her in solitary, lights on 24/7, no consular visits and definitely no shopping trips or mansion stays.
☠️☠️🇨🇳💩💩
Frees Meng!
No swap. These dumbass canadians who fav this dont understand what will happen if we do it.
World needs to boycott China...
If we let China have their way who's to say it won't happen again if they feel they're being disrespected? Would they uphold their end of the bargain? Imo we let the legal system do its job.
Interesting but very unlikely. China won't play this type of immature game. To swap means the charges are equal, but those two Canadians were charged with espionage, which was much more serious - not commenting on the charge, but China will not take this type of cheap bait.
Such a swap would make Canada look like a weak nation that can be manipulated by a dictatorship Don't do it
Prisoner swap just encourages China to arrest Canadians without cause. Meng should extradited to the US or released, not traded like she's currency.
Canadian agree this is a bizarre headline
No prisoner swap! Can’t let china think that this is acceptable or tolerable.
Prisoner swap? You mean breaking our extradition treaty and paying China's ransom to release our innocent citizens that have been arbitrarily detained.
Justin Trudeau's hard line stance against China.
Send her back, asap!
Seize all PRC nationals' assets, and deport them.
Prisoners swap were conducted during Wartimes . They are not acceptable in a Country with RuleofLaw right BillBlair. WRONG cdnpoli
This situation is disgusting. JustinTrudeau pick a damn country and make the swap. Stop wasting the precious lives of our michaels. For once get the job done and get it done yesterday
Sick of seeing her in the picture. Do better!
Paid influencer?
And we are still in business with China? And they have so much realestate in Canada... Wow what a joke...
What's the common phrase? 'We don't negotiate with terrorists'. The CCP are terrorists with massive amounts of authority, plain and simple
Xi: told you so. Hostage diplomacy works.
Let mong go. Revoke her canadian citizenship too
Happy Easter 🌞🙏 can we get rid of her and this story soon. I have Waiwai fatigue 🇨🇦👌
NANOS SURVEY NANOS SURVEY NANOS SURVEY NANOS SURVEY
Doesn't matter if Canadians are warming to a prisoner swap, Trudeau will sacrifice those unfortunate souls if the US wants Meng Wanzhou extradited.
no swap. china is just going to start holding hostages all the time.
