Canadians feel China has not come clean on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the picture is quite clear if a new Angus Reid Institute survey points out.
In the span of just six months, the views of Canadians about China have plummeted. The latest numbers from Angus Reid Institute find a mere 14 percent of us have a favourable opinion of that nation. That’s down from the 29 percent just before the outbreak. It appeared the Prime Minister was hesitant to point fingers or lay blame when these views started arising. But in recent days, he is sounding more like he would pursue more evidence.
