Since the last wave, a majority of Canadians continue to support or somewhat support the Government of Canada for using the Emergencies Act in response to the Freedom Convoy Protest. Canadians aged 55 and plus (71%) were more likely to support or somewhat support the use of the Emergencies act than Canadians aged 18 to 34 (55%).

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,114 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between January 29th to 31st, 2024 as part of an omnibus survey. The margin of error for this survey is ±2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

This study was commissioned by CTV and the research was conducted by Nanos Research.
