    I mean it’s possible that it may have fallen some due to the relentless campaign against it in thr US, coupled with the typical leakage of American propaganda into Canada. The support for gay marriage was never 100% so it’s conceivable that it may have dropped a bit but I don’t expect a dramatic change or anything approaching a majority against. Not coming off of 79% approval in 2023.

    I really liked how Carney addressed the woke scare. He said that while America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness. Also he contrasted the US as a melting pot with Canada as a mosaic. Simple.
