72% of Canadians Expect Donald Trump on Santa's Naughty List
If Canadians were assisting Santa in the creation of his naughty and nice list this year, Donald Trump would make it to the top of the naughty list (72%), likely given his threats to turn Canada into the 51st state. In second place, six in ten Canadians expect Vladimir Putin (58%) to be on Santa’s naughty list. Half of Canadians place Diddy (50%) in third place (not even making top 20 Nice List). Prince Andrew (33%), Justin Trudeau (31%), and Pierre Poilievre (27%) rank similarly on the naughty list. Fairly close behind, one in five place Mark Carney (22%), Jeff Bezos (22%), and Charlie Kirk (19%) in the naughty ledger.
While Carney is in eighth place on the naughty list, he is also fifth on the nice list. Healthcare staff (51%), Taylor Swift (29%), and Ryan Reynolds top the nice list this year.
These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between December 8 and 15, 2025, on behalf of Global News. For this survey, a sample of 1,502 Canadians aged 18+ was interviewed online. Quotas and weighting were employed to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the Canadian population according to census parameters. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ± 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadians aged 18+ been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.
