This research gauged the opinion of Canadians on areas of spending where they would like to see more reduced costs in 2026.

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,077 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between December 27th and December 29th, 2025, as part of an omnibus survey.

The margin of error for this survey is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The statistical tabulations including the unweighted and weighted number of interviews can be accessed here.

The research was commissioned by CTV News and was conducted by Nanos Research.
