  "account": "A new poll suggests that most Canadians support the federal government walking away from ongoing U.S. trade talks and imposing retaliatory tariffs, which could impact Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government. However, this support varies by age, with Generation Z and Millennials being less likely to back the Liberals' approach. Ipsos polling found that 63% of Canadians believe Canada was right to stand firm in the trade negotiations, even with higher costs and job losses, while 73% support Canada's proposed \"dollar for dollar\" counter-tariffs on $28 billion worth of U.S. goods. Only 48% of Gen Z adults and 57% of Millennials expressed this level of support. Age also plays a role in voting intentions, as 80% of elderly boomers supported the Liberals, while 30% of Millennials chose the Conservatives over them. The Liberals remain popular overall, but their support has dropped slightly since April, while the Conservatives' support has remained unchanged.",
  "summary": "The Ipsos poll for Global News suggests the Liberal government still enjoys broad backing from Canadians, but that support dips among younger voters.",
