It’s being referred to as the [fantasy] “Trudeau effect,” yet unable to figure out how that is. According to a yearly survey conducted by public relationships firm Edelman, Canadians’ trust, in regards to business, the media, our government, as well as NGO’s, saw an abrupt, sharp spike in this year’s survey.

However, they’re forgetting that at the time of the survey, Trudeau had only been Prime Minister for a mere two months. This “spike” is from the previous Harper government.

During his 12 years as Prime Minister, one of the great things Harper did was build up Canadian business around the world. I’m going to guess that next year’s results will be far different. Trudeau hadn’t been in office long enough either, for this to be a “Trudeau effect.” But leftist MSM can’t help but correlate everything good that happens in Canada, to Trudeau.

Edelman’s “Trust Barometer” additionally discovered that Canadian-based businesses are currently the world’s most trusted amongst consumers worldwide, in a 3-way tie with Sweden and Switzerland.

CDN Business — Businesses in Canada are in 3-way tie with Swiss and Swedish businesses as the most trusted in the world.

Canada’s spot at the top, rose up from 2nd place in 2013’s trust barometer, while Swedish business was rated at the top as the most reliable. The proof this was the HARPER government, is right there. It rose from 2013-2015. Trudeau as of this date has only been in office a mere 9 weeks. So it’s not possible Trudeau’s election scheme win, has anything at all to do with the spike.

We can however, say “Thank-you Prime Minister Stephen Harper, for all your hard work, and keeping Canada, ….. Canada.”

No matter what the specifics are, the level of trust put on a country’s businesses appears to show that nation’s worldwide reputation, as a whole. Which, as most Canadians know, has dropped since Trudeau took office.

“Companies that have their headquarters in established markets are still relied on far more, compared to those based in markets still developing,” Edelman stated.

Businesses all over the world were delighted with the raise in their reputation over the past 12 months, yet nowhere more so than in Canada, where trust in businesses took a leap of 13% points among what Edelman refers to as the “knowledgeable public.” That’s double of what the the international standard is. And great for Canada!

For the general Canadian populace, trust in corporations leapt 5% points.

“We’re referring to the rebound in trust and positive outlook the ‘Trudeau result’ because the study was carried out quite quickly after the federal election and also shows a sense of spirit among Canadians,” Lisa Kimmel, head of state of Edelman Canada, claimed in a declaration.

However, doubts that this has anything to do with Trudeau winning, are circulating. A lot of Canadians feel it was the previous government under Stephen Harper, who built up Canadian businesses. If a survey were done now, a lot feel the results would be far different, especially with current state of Ontario, the country’s largest province.

Premier of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne, is implementing one of the strictest, most extreme “climate change action plans” in the world. It’s been nicknamed ” Ontario’s green assisted economic suicide plan.”

“Despite one’s political stripes, there are important lessons leaders can learn from the style of leadership displayed by the new prime minister, characterized by transparency, accessibility, openness as well as willingness to work together.”

Although the election has “skewed” this year’s outcomes, according to Kimmel, and no one else, she does note that there is more than the Trudeau effect at play right here. Yes, it’s called “Stephen Harper.” Which is a good thing, considering Canada is losing respect on the global scale now that Trudeau has had a chance to show his “True Colours.” A person can only hide who they truly are, for so long. Eventually the truth reveals itself.

Canadians appear to be OK with reduced oil costs and a terrible dollar as “the brand-new typical.” But the truth is, most are not. The old saying that “Canadians are so “nice”” is holding true here. At least in the short-run. Canadians are starting to speak out. The “sleeping giant” has awoke.

The increase of the sharing economic climate is providing consumers much more options. Finally, Canadians are feeling “reasonably” much better off, given increasing troubles around the world like the evacuee situation that made some individuals understand “things typically aren’t so bad in Canada,” Kimmel stated.

However, Canadians have not completely quit criticizing. Even though trust in CEO’s took a leap of 8% points this past year, CEO’s continue to hold the trust of just 37% of those who were surveyed. Compared to the worldwide standard of 49%, it’s way off. Just 29% of Canadians feel that CEOs are fairly paid for the work they do.

“Corporate Canada still has a lengthy way to go to win over the hearts and minds of the general populace,” Edelman claimed in the report.

CDN Business 2 — Global survery conducted by Edelman’s, found that “informed public” more trusting.

That all being said, the survey found Canadians put more trust in business than they do in government, media or NGOs.

The survey found a degree of “trust inequality” worldwide, including in Canada. Members of the “informed public” have a greater degree of trust in institutions than the “general population,” the survey found.

In Canada, 55 per cent of the general population expressed trust in institutions, compared to 48 per cent globally. Among the “informed public,” 63 per cent of Canadians trusted institutions, compared to 60 per cent globally.

“The informed public is substantially more optimistic than the general public about its prospects over the next five years, Edelman said.

That’s “a troubling trend for institutional leaders as it is the general public that now holds far more influence over Canadians’ opinions than the informed public,” it added.
