The ballots are counted, the commentary is fading, and now the spotlight shifts to governing. Within 48 hours of the April 28 result, Discover—Navigator’s research arm—surveyed 1,500 Canadians to capture a fresh, data-rich picture of what voters expect from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first year in office.
Inside this report you’ll find:
- Economic urgency laid bare – cost of living, jobs, and fiscal discipline dominate a crowded wish-list.
- Cabinet-clean-slate sentiment – seven in ten Canadians want a brand-new front bench.
- Cross-party common ground – despite stark divides, Liberals and Conservatives share four of their top five priorities.
- A wary eye south of the border – tariffs, Trump, and trade realignment shape Canada’s next moves.
- Confidence—and caution—about the road ahead – where optimism runs high, and where anxieties still simmer.
Whether you advise government, business, or civil society, this forward-looking deep dive reveals the levers that will matter most in the months ahead. Download the full report below—and if you need to translate these insights into strategy, the Discover and Navigator teams are only a conversation away.
