Seventy-one per cent of Canadians said they cut back on in-store purchases of U.S. products in a Leger poll that shows American economic aggression to be a top concern in Canada.

The numbers released in Monday’s Trump Tariff Tracker for the March 14 to 16 period reveal that 41% of respondents selected tariffs as the most critical issue facing Canada, a 13-point increase from data released on March 3.

By contrast, the number-one issue in the U.S. is inflation with 31% of Americans selecting it as the most critical issue for their country.

Meanwhile, 73% of Canadian respondents said they increased purchases of Canadian-made goods.

Fifty-four per cent of Canadians decreased spending at American QSRs in the weeks leading up to the survey and 48% reported spending less at American retailers.

Of those surveyed, 67% said they decreased purchases of U.S. goods online.

In terms of retaliatory tariffs, 80% of Canadians support their use on electricity exports, 80% support them on oil and potash exports and 79% support them on aluminum exports.

Additionally, 42% of participants said they are disappointed in the U.S. for turning on Canada with 37% saying they are “very angry” over the issue.

According to the numbers, 51% of Canadians said they are less likely to travel to the United States because of political tensions.

Only 9% of Canadians believe it is likely that Canada will become the 51st U.S. state. If this scenario becomes more realistic, 35% said they would consider leaving the country.

The Trump Tariff Tracker used data from 1,568 Canadians and 1,013 U.S. residents aged 18 or older who were randomly recruited from an online panel.
