CAA poll conducted by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail reveals that Canadians perceive several factors as major threats to national unity, including U.S. influence (54%), political polarization (50%), and the potential for an Alberta separation referendum (45%). Over 75% of respondents emphasized the importance of maintaining Canadian unity, though nearly half (47%) believe Canada is less united now compared to five years ago. Concerns include tensions with the U.S., regional economic disparities, and political divisions. The survey highlights growing anxieties around Canada's stability amid ongoing trade negotiations with the U.S. and Mexico, as well as upcoming elections in Quebec and Alberta that could see separatist movements gain traction.
