Concern over energy prices hits all time high since tracking began in November 2022 with nearly three in four Canadians (73%) reported being concerned about energy prices they will pay for things like heating and transportation over the next six months (previous high of 66% in 2022-2024).

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,003 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between May 3rd and 6th, 2026, as part of an omnibus survey. Participants were randomly recruited by telephone using live agents and administered a survey online. The results were statistically checked and weighted by age and gender using the latest Census information and the sample is geographically stratified to be representative of Canada.

The margin of error for a random survey of 1,003 Canadians is ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The research was commissioned by Positive Energy at the University of Ottawa and was conducted by Nanos Research.
