The research gauged the opinions among Canadians on climate ambition, views on interprovincial pipelines and the alignment of climate policies and current priorities. It also delved into views on energy affordability and Canadians’ intentions to electrify more of their energy needs.

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,055 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between May 5th and 8th, 2025, as part of an omnibus survey.

The margin of error for a random survey of 1,055 Canadians 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:

• by region, age and gender
• by vote and political spectrum

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