October 22, 2025 Update
October’s insights show that while overall confidence remains stagnant (down 1 point) at -6%, there is a contrast between an increasing optimism regarding personal prospects juxtaposed with a waning confidence in the national economy. This trend suggests a dynamic shift of Canadians, anticipating tough economic times, may be proactively adapting their personal strategies in the face of challenging economic conditions.
