Most Canadians refuse difficult concessions with US trade talks
(MENAFN) Nearly two-thirds of Canadians wanted their government to take a "hard approach" in the trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a new survey released Tuesday.
The data from Canadian non-profit Angus Reid Institute found 63 percent of Canadians think Canada should take a "hard approach" rather than a "soft one," noting that these data were taken both before and after Trump's announcement of the new 35 percent tariff rate.
"For Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Canadian negotiating team, the approach appears to center on keeping their head down rather than their elbows up. Canadians appear to want more push back," said the institute.
According to the institute, a "hard" approach is defined as refusing difficult concessions even if it means worsening of trade relations with the United States, while a "soft" approach is to make difficult concessions to keep a good relationship with Canada's biggest trading partner.
