4 in 10 Canadians think a public inquiry can "get to the bottom" of foreign interference: poll

The public inquiry into foreign interference has highlighted “troubling events” in the last two federal elections in Canada, but many Canadians doubt the commission will fully uncover how far hostile actors – primarily China – have tried to meddle in Canadian democratic institutions, a new poll suggests.

Polling by Ipsos done exclusively for Global News found four in 10 Canadians say they trust that the inquiry will “get to the bottom of what has really been going on.”

“Canadians are skeptical that the steps that we’re taking now will lead to better outcomes, meaning less interference or no interference by foreign governments,” senior vice-president with Ipsos Public Affairs Sean Simpson said. “I think part of the skepticism is just a lack of credibility that the federal Liberals have overall right now. They’ve lost a lot of their political capital.”

Global’s Mackenzie Gray has the details.
