“More women want Trudeau to stand up to Trump, while more men want the president-elect to make the first visit to Canada,” the poll said. As a whole most Canadians want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to stand up to Donald Trump as a champion of progressive values and the international order, even if it strains Canada-US relations. “A majority of Canadians also want Trudeau to invite Trump first to visit Canada, as is a tradition for an incoming president,” the Nanos said. Nationally, 75 percent of Canadians agree (47 percent) or somewhat agree (28 percent) that Trudeau should stand up to Trump on progressive values and the international order. “They’d more than welcome having Donald Trump has his first visit to Canada, and for Justin Trudeau to want that,” Nanos told media.
