Another day, another poll. This one, conducted by Globescan, rates Canada as having the most positive rating among citizens from 27 countries. Fifty-four percent of respondents felt that Canada’s influence is mainly positive, while only 14% think it is negative. However, Globescan analysts think this positive view may be due to a lack of awareness about Canada, rather than approval of our international policies.

For tourism, this is good news: we don’t have to sell Canada’s safety and approval ratings. We just need to tell people that there is more to Canada than a high approval rating!
