[WEBINAR] Is Canada Ready to Build? Navigating Public Sentiment

24 Jun 2026
Online webinar
12pmPT/3pmET

Canada has entered what Ipsos defines as the Endurance Economy, a structural shift where chronic affordability and security challenges have fundamentally rewired public priorities. In response, Canadian public opinion has undergone a significant and pragmatic pivot. The empirical data shows public support for heavy industry and nation-building infrastructure is strong. Currently, eight in 10 Canadians support a strategy to build massive new energy, resource, and infrastructure projects. Majorities want to see streamlined regulatory reviews and accelerated timelines to get shovels in the ground. This is a unique opportunity for capital deployment in Canada. However, the greatest risk facing developers and investors today is not a lack of public appetite, it is the risk of squandering this mandate through poor execution. A national green light does not automatically clear the intersection at the local level. Capitalizing on support requires navigating the complex intersection of corporate reputation, localized economic messaging, and community integration.

Join Ipsos for an executive briefing on where the energy sector is now in the public’s mind, and what the data how is needed successfully execute major capital projects in the current socio-political landscape. We will unpack the data behind Canada's shifting priorities and provide the empirical playbook required to translate national momentum into operational reality.

The capital is available, and the national mandate is clearer that it has been in decades. Join us to ensure your organization has the strategic insights required to seize this opportunity and build the next generation of Canadian infrastructure.
