A Leger survey that polled 1,590 Canadians between Feb. 7 and Feb. 10, 2025 suggests an overwhelming majority of Canadians — 81 per cent — have significantly increased how many *********-made products they buy, or will do so soon.

But only 28 per cent of Canadians told the pollster they have or will be cancelling their subscriptions to U.S. streaming services, compared with 34 per cent who say they will not be cancelling them.

About one in three people polled also said they are unwilling to stop making online purchases from U.S.-based companies.

Because the poll was conducted online, it can’t be assigned a margin of error.

Only 14 per cent of Albertans said they would cut off U.S. streaming services — the lowest percentage recorded for any province. Quebec saw the largest percentage of respondents willing to cancel their U.S. streaming subscriptions at 36 per cent.

About one-fifth of Canadians said the question about a U.S. streaming subscription did not apply to them.

William Huggins, an assistant professor of finance and business economics at McMaster University, said many people may be unwilling to give up American streaming services because they don’t see alternatives. He said Canada should expand the availability of non-U.S. programming.

“If there’s a perceived cost or we don’t think that things are equivalent, then we don’t like it,” Huggins said. “There’s a ******* burden.”

‘Buy *********’ movement gains momentum among merchants, shoppers

On shopping *********, about nine in 10 people who backed the Bloc, the Liberals or the NDP said they would increase their consumption of ********* products, compared to about three in four Conservatives.

Andrew Enns, Leger’s executive vice-president for Central Canada, said ********* companies should make it as easy as possible for consumers to identify their products in the marketplace.

Some companies, such as restaurant chain Boston Pizza, have already updated their websites and issued social media posts to remind consumers of their ********* background.

The Leger survey also found that anxiety about the economy was influencing people to put off big purchases. More than half of respondents said they had put off major household purchases as a result of the current economic uncertainty. That rose to almost two-thirds of those between 18 and 34 years old.
