The “Elbows Up” enthusiasm that the Carney government once enjoyed appears to be dwindling as a new survey shows that Canadians are more pessimistic about their future than Americans, particularly when it comes to their economy.

Polling firm Abacus Data released new data this week from a survey which found that when asked if it was “difficult to plan for the future,” 67 per cent of Canadians said yes, compared to only 55 per cent of Americans.
