The Pollara Substack discusses the latest edition of our 6 year tracking survey on municipal satisfaction.

The findings explain why incumbents were shown the door in Calgary + Edmonton. And why change might be coming across BC next year.

A fresh Pollara survey shows 74% feel the collapse of Canada's auto sector would have a "devastating" effect on Canada's economy.

Moreover, two-thirds of Canadians are considering boycotts of companies that move operations south of the border.

Check out the latest from Pollara's tracking survey on municipal satisfaction.

We're seeing the low satisfaction levels in Alberta play out this municipal election cycle. And with BC into municipal elections next year, the even lower scores there bear watching.

It often pairs nicely with the dozens of times a new PM’s honeymoon is declared to be ending.
Ahh, the "first real test". A "first" all Prime Ministers must face at least 30 or 40 times.

I put the collage below together for fun a year into Trudeau's mandate. The "first test" headlines continued for many years afterwards.

The latest Rage Index finds that Donald Trump has become an "anger lightning rod". Trump is getting the blame for a lot of the frustrations that would normally be directed towards federal and provincial governments, leading to declining anger towards them.

Donald Trump 78%
The provincial government 42%

Pope Leo XIV: Positive 52% / Negative 10%
Pope Francis: Positive 60% / Negative 11%
