Canada: trust in governments' environmental policy 2020

In 2020, several federal-provincial conflicts over the direction of the country's energy and climate policies were ongoing in Canada. On climate change, for example, Canadians were more likely to trust the federal government than their provincial or territorial government. Almost one-third had equal confidence in both levels of government, and 19 percent reported distrusting both.
