Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Laufey Asks 'Why Can't I Be Both?' in TIME 'Women of the Year' Story About Her Unique Jazz/Classical/Pop Hybrid Style Canadian pop icon Chantal Kreviazuk sent a subtle, but unequivocal, message to Donald Trump on Thursday night (Feb. 20) with her tweak of the lyrics to the Canadian national anthem at the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game between the U.S. and Canada.
55% : Trump reportedly called the U.S. team before the game to wish them well and posted on his social media site that he would be watching, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying that he would be "watching for the United States to win.
50% : Trump has referred to Trudeau as "Governor Trudeau" in press briefings, suggesting that a U.S. takeover of Canada is a realistic agenda item during what has been a shock-and-awe first month in office in which he has once again flouted democratic norms.
49% : Though Trump had promised to lower prices on goods immediately upon taking office, he acknowledged this week in a Fox News interview that inflation is rising again after former President Biden brought the rate down from a disastrous 9.1% in June 2022 -- the highest rate in 40 years -- to just over 3% when he left office in January.
44% : Since taking office, Trump has threatened to take over another sovereign nation, Greenland, as well as sparking serious concern in the Middle East with his musings about seizing the Gaza Strip and forcing out its Palestinian residents in order to turn the devastated territory into the "Riviera of the Middle East," with no announced plan for where the region's two million residents will live during or what he has described as a real estate make-over.
41% : One way in which Trump has attempted to put pressure on Trudeau and Canada is by threatening to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S., a one-sided strategy that economists say will result in higher prices for American consumers at a time when inflation is beginning to rise again.
7% : The White House appeared to lean into Trump's imperial aspirations on Wednesday when it shared a fake TIME magazine cover altered to feature the President's name with the caption "long live the king" alongside a picture of Trump wearing a crown.
