Nearly a year after Prime Minister Mark Carney's election victory, a survey by the Angus Reid Institute indicates that Canadians are split on the government's performance. 58% of respondents approve of Carney's work, yet 41% feel he has not fulfilled key election promises, particularly regarding affordability and the cost of living. While 64% believe he has enhanced Canada's international standing, issues such as housing affordability and rising living costs remain significant concerns. The survey highlights a stark divide in opinions based on political affiliations, with Conservative voters expressing more dissatisfaction compared to Liberal supporters. Furthermore, the government has successfully met its NATO defense spending target of 2% of GDP for the first time, a move positively received by many. However, challenges such as youth unemployment and concerns about corruption are rising, particularly among Conservative voters. Overall, while Carney's approval is higher than that of some predecessors, he still faces criticism and expectations for improvement in key areas.
