Canada-U.S. Ties Strained by New Poll and Floor-Crossing Drama

A POLITICO poll conducted with Public First finds growing Canadian distrust of the United States—55% say the U.S. does not share their values and 57% say it cannot be relied upon in a crisis—while Americans view Canada more positively; Canadians now see the U.S. as a greater threat to global peace than Russia. The Playbook Canada episode also covers Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux’s floor crossing and Conservative MP Scott Aitchison’s call from Milan to talk Olympics, housing, and Parliament.
