A majority of Canadians now say it is time to end COVID restrictions, according to an Angus Reid poll, a sharp increase from when the same question was asked in early January.

The latest poll, taken Jan. 27-28, found 54% want restrictions to be lifted compared to just 39% who wanted restrictions lifted when the same question was asked two weeks earlier.

The poll asked people if they agreed or disagreed with the statement: “It’s time to end restrictions and let people self-isolate if they’re at risk.”

“A majority (54%) now say it is time to remove restrictions and let Canadians manage their own level of risk, an increase of 15 percentage points since this question was asked in early January,” the Angus Reid Institute said.

A majority back lifting restrictions in every province and region in Canada, with rural dwellers being more likely than urban dwellers to want restrictions lifted – 58% to 54%. Support for lifting is also the majority viewpoint for both men and women and across all but one age group.

“Women over the age of 54 are the only age-gender group that disagree that restrictions should be ended. A majority of each of the other gender and generation groupings agree that the time has come,” the institute said.

Support for lifting restrictions is highest among men aged 35-54 at 67%, followed by men 18-34 at 60% and women aged 35-54 at 58%. Among women aged 55 and over, 51% disagree with lifting restrictions while 40% agreed.

Just over one in five say that they or someone in their household have been infected with COVID-19 since Dec. 1 with most describing symptoms as minor. Asked to rate their symptoms, 52% of those who tested positive said they were “relatively mild – just minor symptoms,” 47% said their symptoms were “serious but manageable – like a case of the flu,” while 1% reported their symptoms as “very severe – required hospitalization.”

The poll was conducted among a representative randomized sample of 1,688 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum, an online panel. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

    Only 54%? Sorry Canada, but you’ve got a long way to go before you get out of Covid jail.

      Hey goy, they can win if they well organised with points to achieve!

      • Cap960

        Alberta PM and black face yellow belly Trudeau are calling the swat team to stop Canadian truckers from blocking the custom between Montana and Alberta. It’s going to be bloody in no time. That’s when Canadians will go home.

        • Juan

          Let’s see how it goes.

    • Tyty

      Fake poll. its around 80-82% at the minimum over all, and around 95% in some provinces.

    • Juan

      That 54% is important for PR/political reasons, plus the “fringe unacceptables” that make the hard work protesting and ultimately causing the change (that’s now backed by a majority opinion).

  • Jerôme

    Who gives a f..k anymore about the polls? All fraud and deception! Canada needs to rise up and chase to China’s exile Fidel Trudeau with his communist government! Only violence applies to these communists!!!!

      What? And miss supper! Get a grip!!!

      No forced masks, vaccination, social distancing or business lockdowns in China…you’ve been brainwashed by lying media. China is like every other country which have “Deep State” traitors. These traitors will try and impose “lockdowns” but they are taken down by regional nationalistic leaders. It’s a never ending fight to purge traitors but China’s Nationalist are winning; as evidenced by country’s growth. If only the US and the rest of the Western World can purge itself of the “globalist deep state traitors”:

      While that’s right, it’s also right that non-violent mass non-compliance works as well. If you win most minds from their brainwashing, you won already, the devils will be reduced to a few powerless antifa like degenerates, and if they cause trouble they can be dealt with by the law.

    They have won, no matter if they drop the restrictions or not. The majority have complied without a whimper,,, that is all they need to know. They have convinced 99% + that a cold, flu, TB or other respiratory diseases are the fake virus,,, that they have the authority to override constitutions and law with ‘rules’. We have kowtowed to their every whim to include even injecting our children with their poison.

    They know they can do these unlawful and immoral acts to deny freedom any time they wish by just saying the magic word— Emergency.

    I only see victory when they are all incarcerated and/or hung. Anything less is their victory.

    The response to their every edict…

      Nothing will change until the executions start.

          Hey Mr. Fascist Pig, how are you hating tonight. Please some moderator here needs to take you down. Whatever it is you think you think, please stick your head back up your ass and don’t ever come out again.

            Hey Mr. Fascist Pig, how are you hating tonight.

            On the one hand, he has a valid point. Petitions don’t work, the tin-pot beauracrats and Mussolini wannabes just wipe their arses with petitions and then laugh in our faces.

            Demonstrations don’t work – unless we have millions on the streets and the elites lose all control and are no longer able to enforce their BS.

            On the other hand, violence might be an answer, but it comes with a heavy cost – a legacy that predisposes a nation to more violence.

            The answer, IMO, is universal non-compliance and rejection of the established regime – creation of parallel institutions which supplant and eclipse the illegitimate corporate governance and consign them to irrelevance.

            Then new mechanisms of justice and accountability can be brought to bear according to the collective will of the people.

            The key is in the numbers. We don’t need everyone – all we need is enough to neuter the regime.

      • Ultrafart the Brave

        … and the executions can’t start until the existing regime is overthrown and held to account – and that won’t happen until enough people become aware of what has been done to them and their children.

        That requires that the people who are already awake keep up their efforts to enlighten the masses.

        There’s light at the end of the tunnel – could be a way off yet.

      Unfortunately that is true, in a way they have won and can do it again and again.
      There are so many yes sayers out there.

  • XSFRGR

    The Canadians gave up the means to resist, and they should shut up, and accept the slavery that they voted on themselves. In a years time the Canadians will have forgotten this entire episode, and Trudeau will be reelected by a comfortable margin.

  • Rebel Forever

    Glad to see some Canadians finally growing a backbone. Tell Trudeau and his minions to stick that needle right up their asses. Tell these cowards ‘No’ and they will tuck tail and run. Cowards always eventually do.
