Ahead of Canada Day, 7 in 10 say they feel country is “broken”: poll

Canada Day is just around the corner, but many Canadians are not in the mood to celebrate, according to a new poll done exclusively for Global News.

Seventy per cent of Canadians agree with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre that the country is “broken,” according to Ipsos polling.

Ipsos surveyed 1,001 Canadians between June 12 and 14 and found feelings of pessimism are highest among those aged 18 to 34, with 78 per cent holding the view that the country needs fixing.

Touria Izri breaks down the numbers and explains what’s behind the low morale.

Imagine the whole country screaming at you to leave and saying you know better then millions of people. There is something wrong in our PMs head

"Broken" is polite ... it is bankrupt, busted, bupkiss, dying. There is yer trouble.

It's difficult to say what is the most broken: housing, inflation, immigration, schools, crime, health, markets. I asked my husband what actually works in Canada and he had no answer.

9 out of 10 Canadians feel this country is BROKEN by Justin Trudeau and the Liberals

[KrokodilKirill]

It can only be a "Happy Canada Day" if Trudeau resigns

[Bufford]

Poll got flipped. It is really 9 out of 10 that are slowly rotting into bankruptcy.

[leslieross]

Trudeau can give Canada a gift on Canada day by resigning.

[palestinelucas]

Canadians are going homeless, nothing to celebrate in Canada anymore

[myathehappy_]

Are you kidding me? 1 in 10? Where did you get those numbers, try 9/10!

[maryjoan]

Sadly I agree. A mess.. best if Justin resigns....save Canada

[AZ-bpzo]

We Canadians demand an election as soon as possible!

This is who runs our Country aside from the WEF: A failed drama teacher as PM, a failed journalist and a WEF board member as finance minister, a radical criminal activist as environment minister, A foreign Affairs Minister who ran/runs in the same circles as Trudeau, A transport minister who has been convicted 3 X for drinking and driving. Last but not least, an alliance formed with another party, whose leader (Jagmeet Singh) supports terrorism against a friend and strategic ally. What could possibly go wrong? Canadians just want to brush the "Stink" of Liberals off them once and for all." We as Canadians need to strip the Liberal Party of its official status in Canada. We need to stand together and vote "against" every single Liberal to put them out of power and Parliament. There is no one Canadians can trust in the Liberal Party.

I'm a born and raised Canadian and it's getting harder and harder to say I'm a proud Canadian this country was great at one time and then 9 years of Trudeau as a leader now this country is so unrecognizable it's destroyed its disgusting it's so broken

[MightyKingYoung]

How does 70% = 1/10?!
Change the title, it's misinformation!!!

[grandmufftwerkin]

Remember when Justin kept flags at half mast for half a year because of claims of mass graves that have yet to be found? 🙃

[MapleCanada-wg]

People who are getting free money from government are happy here. Hard working class are most pissed.

[Somerepairguy]

1 out of 10 is 70%? Apparently our education is broken also

[k.dickie]

The 3 out of 10 who didn't think it was broken, all work for the federal government from home.

"Canada" is not broken, it's done.

[LadyYolk]

We don't FEEL it's broken, it IS broken. We all still love our country but we all hate the man who's ruined it.
