December 5, 2025 – The political fortunes of Canada’s provincial leaders are varied this holiday season, with some – Manitoba’s Wab Kinew, New Brunswick’s Susan Holt, and Saskatchewan’s Scott Moe – set for a merry break from the legislature.

Others – namely Ontario’s Doug Ford and Quebec’s Francois Legault – may be in for a more Dickensian season of holiday introspection, as they contend with high levels of disapproval from their constituents for the job they’ve done in recent months.

For two leaders caught in a Christmas quarrel over the future of an Alberta-B.C. pipeline, public opinion appears frozen as residents evidently wait for words from both David Eby and Danielle Smith to turn into actions.

These are the Angus Reid Institute’s final Premier Approval ratings for the year 2025.
