On Friday we brought you the story of a manhunt in Toronto after a man shot two kids at a playground. That was Toronto’s 181st shooting of the year. Over the weekend, we have now seen that number jump to 194. So we wanted to get a sense of what’s going on in Toronto?

The poll comes after Trump’s personal attack on Trudeau over the last few days, amid an escalating trade dispute between Canada and the U.S.

At a G7 summit wrap-up news conference over the weekend, Justin Trudeau said Canada wouldn’t be “pushed around” by the U.S. amid the tariff dispute on steel and aluminum. The prime minister also said it was “insulting” that Trump would justify his tariffs as a national security issue.
