SUMMARY
OF FINDINGS
The Proof Strategies* CanTrust Index, now in its 7th year, is a
leading source of research and insights on trust in Canada. We report
a distinctly Canadian story. Societies, democracies and
economies cannot function without trust.
Our study uses a 7-point scale with 7 being the highest trust and 1 being
the lowest. Respondents choosing 7, 6 or 5 result in the percentages of
trust used in this report.
The 2022 Proof Strategies CanTrust Index is released within
one month of completion to ensure the most current data and analysis,
unlike older studies. Our research tells the unique story of trust
among Canadians, and who they believe is trustworthy in this world of
ever-increasing misinformation, conspiracy theories and keyboard
warriors.
This year, we included questions related to the Omicron variant of COVID-
19 and probed the state of anxiety and stress among Canadians after
almost two years of the pandemic. We also examined trust relating
to climate change and preparedness, a parallel issue of huge importance.
*Proof Strategies Inc. is the largest wholly Canadian-owned
communications and public affairs agency. We ask better questions to
create insight, grow trust and achieve prosperity. Learn more

OUR COMMITMENT
TO TRUST IN CANADA
• In our seven years of tracking trust in Canada, the world has seen a
steady erosion of trust. A loss of trust among many citizens of the
UK resulted in a narrow Brexit victory. Economic disruption, social
tensions and the inflammatory echo chamber of social media enabled
Donald Trump to ride a wave of mistrust to victory.
• Trust in Canada is resilient in the face of these trends. What happens
in America often does stay in America. Our values and political culture
differ.
• After two years of COVID-19, almost half of Canadians say they are
stressed and anxious. More Canadians feel the pandemic has divided
communities. We call it the mistrust variant.
• The result is an erosion of trust in Canada in the past
two years, notably a sharp 10 per cent decline in trust in
government between January 2021 and January 2022. Fortunately, we
find that Canadians still trust in facts and trained experts.
• Medical doctors at 78 per cent and scientists at 75 per cent remain
the most trusted voices for reliable information. Educators are at 63
per cent, journalists at 44 per cent and politicians at a lowly 18 per
cent.
• To build trust, Canadians want leaders, brands and
organizations to connect on values, to be caring and to communicate
openly.
FRAYED BY FATIGUE, BUT STILL
TRUSTING IN SCIENCE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
3
• Our study's overall index of trust in Canada combines the levels of
trust in NGOs, media, business and government. Over seven years,
this group held steady in the low 40s but dropped in 2021 to 37 per
cent and again further in 2022 to 34 per cent. A ten per cent drop in
trust in government from 2021-22 was a key reason.
• Newcomers show higher levels of trust, resulting in a continuous
"recharging of the trust battery" in Canada. With immigrants now
one-fifth of our country's population, Canada benefits from their
trust resiliency.
• Strong national support for public healthcare is accompanied by
58 per cent trust in this sector. The strain of the pandemic
is causing some erosion in trust among older age groups, but trust
in hospitals remains solid at 64 per cent.
• The economic challenges and political frustrations in the
three Prairie provinces have had a negative impact on trust in
Canada in recent years. Albertans, in particular, show the
lowest trust levels on almost all topics, including their own Premier,
the Prime Minister and business leaders. Political polarization in
Alberta signals that the mistrust comes from different directions,
but the result is not positive.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
THE DISTINCT CANADIAN STORY
OF TRUST
4
• This year’s study gauges respondents’ level of anxiety and stress at
distinct stages of the pandemic and finds correlations between how
Canadians are feeling and their trust levels.
• Approximately one-third (30 per cent) of Canadians who say they felt
anxious about the pandemic at first but now feel better show higher
levels of trust in most areas of the survey, compared to the almost
half (46 per cent) of respondents who say they remain stressed and
anxious.
• For example, trust in provincial Medical Officers of Health to manage
Omicron is at 64 per cent for the “no longer anxious” and only 50 per
cent for those people who remain anxious and stressed. Regarding
the Canadian healthcare system, trust by anxious and stressed
people is 56 per cent compared to 64 per cent for people who feel
better.
• People who responded that they were never stressed or anxious in
the pandemic (24 per cent) appear to be a low trust group. Among
these people, only 65 per cent trust scientists compared to the
national average of 75 per cent. Only 55 per cent trust the healthcare
system, compared to the national average of 58 per cent. Similar
differences appear in numerous questions.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
THE LINK BETWEEN STRESS,
ANXIETY AND TRUST
5
• Climate change is one of the single greatest threats to our planet. As
the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more
frequent. To achieve the dual goals of reducing carbon and preparing
to mitigate impacts of warmer temperatures, building trust is needed.
• With overall low trust levels in government, climate change needs a
coalition approach working with Ottawa. The government can’t act
alone if public confidence and trust are important.
• Scientists represent the most trusted “go-to” for information
about climate change at 69 per cent. They need to be given a seat at
the table to define the problems, set priorities and produce solutions.
• When a community or region in Canada is hit by a natural disaster, 61
per cent trust the military to provide meaningful response and support.
Our military needs to be equipped for the crisis relief work that will be
needed. Canadians trust them.
• Charities like the Canadian Red Cross, with a high trust level at 61 per
cent, need to be engaged as well.
• Indigenous leaders must also be involved, as their communities are
often at the forefront of extreme weather events. The Canadian public
recognizes that reconciliation takes many forms, including
genuine engagement on these health and safety issues.

CANADA’S MOST TRUSTED INSTITUTION;
TRUST IN MILITARY DROPS 6-POINTS.
In addition to the health sector (down 5) the military took a hot (down 6) as did the RCMP (down 13 from 2021). Free & independent press also showing cracks (down 5 from
2021). These institutions form a significant piece of the Canadian identity and we are seeing the collateral impact of the pandemic on the public psyche.

Q
Thinking about your own life in Canada, to what extent do you feel

PERSONAL SATISFACTION LEVELS
ARE DOWN SEVEN POINTS
OVERALL FROM LAST YEAR.
The aggregate drop is more a function of social satisfaction rather than economics. This is at the core of the 2022 results. Canadians are feeling the impact of two
years of this pandemic. It is showing in their satisfaction levels, which in turn is showing in their trust scores.

Q
When it comes to important issues such as climate change, racism
and social equity, do you think business leaders should speak out...
or should they not speak out and take positions on behalf of their
company?

THAT BUSINESS LEADERS SHOULD
SPEAK OUT ABOUT IMPORTANT
ISSUES REGULARLY.
This is more so among senior executives versus other employees. However, the 43 per cent who are less certain represent a significant cohort, suggesting care and
planning is needed before business leaders take positions publicly.

LESSONS
TO BUILD
AND
PRESERVE
TRUST 41
Workers in Canada gave their employers a C grade for
their ability to build trust with external audiences. This
grade is an improvement from the D given in 2021, but
employers can do better.
The pandemic has put a sharper focus around
empathy and benevolence as a key component in
building trust. Employers need to be supportive and
give their employees a reason to trust – to create
motivated, engaged and committed teams.
Externally, how an organization takes care of
employees is identified as a driver of trust by 66 per
cent of Canadians.
How are trust levels in your organization?
START WITH
INTERNAL TRUST
FACTS, EXPERTISE
AND TRUST
Canadians trust information grounded in domain
expertise, facts and the institution of science.
A fact-based narrative, communicated clearly and
consistently will provide understanding and trust,
while also reducing the spread of false information.
Trust is situational, so understand your audiences
and their values and concerns.
Leaders must "walk the talk" and managers at all
levels should understand their role. Trust is a team
sport.
TO BUILD TRUST,
VALUES AND
ACTIONS COUNT
As a leader, if you do not have the trust of your people,
it will be difficult to get anything done.
Trust is built through consistent, demonstrated values,
and competency.
A leader’s ability to clearly articulate what they stand
for and consistently demonstrate this again and again
(by saying what you do and doing what you say) are
the building blocks of trust over time.
Learn what trust looks like in action within your
organization and start building it now.
MEASURE AND
MANAGE TRUST
Organizations need a deliberate plan for measuring,
maintaining and building trust for the long term.
An accurate measurement of intra-organizational and
leadership trust should be part of every CEO's
performance report.
TRUST IS CRITICAL
TO THE SUCCESS OF
YOUR ORGANIZATION,
NOW, MORE THAN EVER.

build trust in your organization, please contact:

Proof Strategies CanTrust Index 2022 Summary of Findings

  • 2. The Proof Strategies* CanTrust Index, now in its 7th year, is a leading source of research and insights on trust in Canada. We report a distinctly Canadian story. Societies, democracies and economies cannot function without trust. Our study uses a 7-point scale with 7 being the highest trust and 1 being the lowest. Respondents choosing 7, 6 or 5 result in the percentages of trust used in this report. The 2022 Proof Strategies CanTrust Index is released within one month of completion to ensure the most current data and analysis, unlike older studies. Our research tells the unique story of trust among Canadians, and who they believe is trustworthy in this world of ever-increasing misinformation, conspiracy theories and keyboard warriors. This year, we included questions related to the Omicron variant of COVID- 19 and probed the state of anxiety and stress among Canadians after almost two years of the pandemic. We also examined trust relating to climate change and preparedness, a parallel issue of huge importance. *Proof Strategies Inc. is the largest wholly Canadian-owned communications and public affairs agency. We ask better questions to create insight, grow trust and achieve prosperity. Learn more at getproof.com. OUR COMMITMENT TO TRUST IN CANADA
  • 3. • In our seven years of tracking trust in Canada, the world has seen a steady erosion of trust. A loss of trust among many citizens of the UK resulted in a narrow Brexit victory. Economic disruption, social tensions and the inflammatory echo chamber of social media enabled Donald Trump to ride a wave of mistrust to victory. • Trust in Canada is resilient in the face of these trends. What happens in America often does stay in America. Our values and political culture differ. • After two years of COVID-19, almost half of Canadians say they are stressed and anxious. More Canadians feel the pandemic has divided communities. We call it the mistrust variant. • The result is an erosion of trust in Canada in the past two years, notably a sharp 10 per cent decline in trust in government between January 2021 and January 2022. Fortunately, we find that Canadians still trust in facts and trained experts. • Medical doctors at 78 per cent and scientists at 75 per cent remain the most trusted voices for reliable information. Educators are at 63 per cent, journalists at 44 per cent and politicians at a lowly 18 per cent. • To build trust, Canadians want leaders, brands and organizations to connect on values, to be caring and to communicate openly. FRAYED BY FATIGUE, BUT STILL TRUSTING IN SCIENCE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3
  • 4. • Our study's overall index of trust in Canada combines the levels of trust in NGOs, media, business and government. Over seven years, this group held steady in the low 40s but dropped in 2021 to 37 per cent and again further in 2022 to 34 per cent. A ten per cent drop in trust in government from 2021-22 was a key reason. • Newcomers show higher levels of trust, resulting in a continuous "recharging of the trust battery" in Canada. With immigrants now one-fifth of our country's population, Canada benefits from their trust resiliency. • Strong national support for public healthcare is accompanied by 58 per cent trust in this sector. The strain of the pandemic is causing some erosion in trust among older age groups, but trust in hospitals remains solid at 64 per cent. • The economic challenges and political frustrations in the three Prairie provinces have had a negative impact on trust in Canada in recent years. Albertans, in particular, show the lowest trust levels on almost all topics, including their own Premier, the Prime Minister and business leaders. Political polarization in Alberta signals that the mistrust comes from different directions, but the result is not positive. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE DISTINCT CANADIAN STORY OF TRUST 4
  • 5. • This year’s study gauges respondents’ level of anxiety and stress at distinct stages of the pandemic and finds correlations between how Canadians are feeling and their trust levels. • Approximately one-third (30 per cent) of Canadians who say they felt anxious about the pandemic at first but now feel better show higher levels of trust in most areas of the survey, compared to the almost half (46 per cent) of respondents who say they remain stressed and anxious. • For example, trust in provincial Medical Officers of Health to manage Omicron is at 64 per cent for the “no longer anxious” and only 50 per cent for those people who remain anxious and stressed. Regarding the Canadian healthcare system, trust by anxious and stressed people is 56 per cent compared to 64 per cent for people who feel better. • People who responded that they were never stressed or anxious in the pandemic (24 per cent) appear to be a low trust group. Among these people, only 65 per cent trust scientists compared to the national average of 75 per cent. Only 55 per cent trust the healthcare system, compared to the national average of 58 per cent. Similar differences appear in numerous questions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE LINK BETWEEN STRESS, ANXIETY AND TRUST 5
  • 6. • Climate change is one of the single greatest threats to our planet. As the world warms, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. To achieve the dual goals of reducing carbon and preparing to mitigate impacts of warmer temperatures, building trust is needed. • With overall low trust levels in government, climate change needs a coalition approach working with Ottawa. The government can’t act alone if public confidence and trust are important. • Scientists represent the most trusted “go-to” for information about climate change at 69 per cent. They need to be given a seat at the table to define the problems, set priorities and produce solutions. • When a community or region in Canada is hit by a natural disaster, 61 per cent trust the military to provide meaningful response and support. Our military needs to be equipped for the crisis relief work that will be needed. Canadians trust them. • Charities like the Canadian Red Cross, with a high trust level at 61 per cent, need to be engaged as well. • Indigenous leaders must also be involved, as their communities are often at the forefront of extreme weather events. The Canadian public recognizes that reconciliation takes many forms, including genuine engagement on these health and safety issues.

  • 42. Workers in Canada gave their employers a C grade for their ability to build trust with external audiences. This grade is an improvement from the D given in 2021, but employers can do better. The pandemic has put a sharper focus around empathy and benevolence as a key component in building trust. Employers need to be supportive and give their employees a reason to trust – to create motivated, engaged and committed teams. Externally, how an organization takes care of employees is identified as a driver of trust by 66 per cent of Canadians. How are trust levels in your organization? START WITH INTERNAL TRUST
  • 43. FACTS, EXPERTISE AND TRUST Canadians trust information grounded in domain expertise, facts and the institution of science. A fact-based narrative, communicated clearly and consistently will provide understanding and trust, while also reducing the spread of false information. Trust is situational, so understand your audiences and their values and concerns. Leaders must "walk the talk" and managers at all levels should understand their role. Trust is a team sport.
  • 44. TO BUILD TRUST, VALUES AND ACTIONS COUNT As a leader, if you do not have the trust of your people, it will be difficult to get anything done. Trust is built through consistent, demonstrated values, and competency. A leader’s ability to clearly articulate what they stand for and consistently demonstrate this again and again (by saying what you do and doing what you say) are the building blocks of trust over time. Learn what trust looks like in action within your organization and start building it now.
  • 45. MEASURE AND MANAGE TRUST Organizations need a deliberate plan for measuring, maintaining and building trust for the long term. An accurate measurement of intra-organizational and leadership trust should be part of every CEO's performance report. TRUST IS CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF YOUR ORGANIZATION, NOW, MORE THAN EVER.
