Canadians broadly support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plan to drastically slash immigration targets, but the move has done little to boost his waning popularity, a new poll suggests.
Despite three in four respondents agreeing with the immigration reduction, just over half said it has no impact on their impressions of Trudeau, according to a survey by Nanos Research Group for Bloomberg News. Some 17% stated it negatively affected their opinion of the prime minister, while 28% reported a positive impact.
