As Canada balances the demands of affordability, energy security, reliability, and climate action, understanding public sentiment has never been more important.

This report presents a Canada-focused analysis of Ipsos' 31-country Energy Transition Barometer. The Barometer measures the pressures people associate with the energy transition across four key dimensions: affordability, security, reliability, and climate impact. By comparing Canadian perspectives with those of other countries, the report provides policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders with a clearer understanding of where Canadian concerns align with, or diverge from, global sentiment.

The findings explore the issues driving concern in Canada, including rising costs, geopolitical uncertainty, and dependence on foreign energy sources. This provides policymakers, industry leaders, and stakeholders with a valuable benchmark for understanding public sentiment and identifying emerging tensions. Ultimately, it offers insight into how Canadians are likely to evaluate the choices, compromises, and opportunities that will shape the country’s energy future.
