Trudeau belongs on Santa’s naughty list, alongside Chinese and Russian leaders: poll
Global News
About 40 per cent of Canadians expect Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to land on Santa's 'naughty' list this year, compared with 44 per cent for Putin and 26 per cent for Xi.
Forty per cent of Canadians expect Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to land on Santa’s “naughty” list this holiday season — and they think he’s more likely to wake up to a lump of coal than Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a new Ipsos poll.
Ipsos asked Canadians about whether a list of high-profile individuals — from political leaders, to CEOs, to celebrities — belong on Santa’s “nice” list or his “naughty” list.
Canadians who responded to the survey said Trudeau was more likely to end up on the naughty list than the Chinese president, who heads the government that detained two Canadians, Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, for more than 1,000 days.
The Chinese government has also been accused of committing genocide against the Uyghur population in the Xinjiang region.
“It’s probably just a lack of awareness of who (Xi) is,” Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos, said in an interview with Global News.
The poll found 26 per cent of Canadians would put Xi on the naughty list, while 40 per cent would do the same to Trudeau. Just three per cent said Xi belongs on Santa’s “nice’ list.
“(Of) the people who do have an opinion of him, the percentage that put him on the nice list is way lower than the percentage that puts him on the naughty list.”
Just 18 per cent of Canadians expect Trudeau to be on Santa’s “nice” list, Ipsos found. Vladimir Putin narrowly bested Trudeau with his likelihood to land on the naughty list, with 44 per cent expecting the Russian president to get coal this holiday season.
