More Canadians now fear the economy is doing badly compared to the last few years, according to a new survey of some of the world’s richest countries.
The Pew Research Center asked Canadians how they would “describe the current economic situation” in the country, offering them the options of very good, somewhat good, somewhat bad or very bad.
Respondents split evenly, with 48 per cent saying they feel the situation is bad or very bad and 48 per cent saying it’s good or very good (four per cent declined to answer).
