Michael Adams On The Trucker Convoy, Immigration And The Evolution Of Canadian Values – Huddle Today

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe latest episode of the Huddle Insights podcast features a fascinating interview with one of Canadas most distinguished market researchers, Michael Adams, the Chairman and Co-Founder of Environics Research.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Adams provides listeners with a data-based analysis of the diverging differences in values between Canadians and Americans through the pioneering work done by Environics in social values research.

He also talks about some of the differences by region within Canada and provides a surprising finding regarding Atlantic Canadians openness to immigrants.

The conversation will also be of interest to those seeking a better understanding of current events, including the Freedom Convoy. Adams points out that the vast majority of Canadians support vaccines and restrictions to tackle the pandemic.

As for the Freedom Convoy, theyve done their cause a disservice. They probably united the other 90 per cent in saying, what is going on with these people?' says Adams.

Were all sick of Covid and we do want those restrictions gone, but we want a data-driven scientific, medically sensible way of gradually getting rid of these restrictions so that we dont have [more outbreaks] like weve had a couple of times so far.
