New Republic - As the Trump administration guts and otherwise interferes with federal statistical agencies, nearly 90 percent of economists recently surveyed by Reuters are concerned about the reliability of official government data on the economy.
From July 11 to 24, Reuters polled economists—including “Nobel Laureates, former policymakers, academics from top U.S. universities, and economists from major banks, consultancies and think tanks”—and found that 89 of 100 of them “were concerned about the quality of official U.S. economic data,” with 41 saying they are “very concerned.”
Pew Research - About a third of Canadians (34%) have a favorable opinion of the U.S., while even fewer (22%) express confidence in President Donald Trump
to do the right thing regarding world affairs. While a majority of
Canadians view the U.S. as their country’s most important ally, a
majority also see it as their nation’s greatest threat.
