The Angus Reid Institute has tracked two trends in Canadian public opinion toward trade agreements over the past year.
First, NAFTA. In the summer of 2016, before then-candidate Trump talked about tearing up the agreement, just 25 percent of Canadians said that it had benefitted their country. By last September, that number had increased to 47 percent.
As for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, support rose from 32 percent in January 2016 to 59 percent in October of 2017. The government announced on January 23 that it had reached an agreement to sign onto the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a revised version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, with 10 other Pacific Rim nations.
