   As COVID-19 anxiety increases, so is Canadians' trust in institutions: poll   
      
   More Canadians say their governments are doing a good job and that they trust   
   official information sources   
      
   The survey found 87 per cent of respondents saying they trust "a great deal"   
   or "a fair amount" the information coming from their local health authorities   
   or medical health officers. That is an increase of eight points since Mar.   
   5-6. A similar    
   proportion of Canadians trust the information coming from the World Health   
   Organization.   
      
   Trust in the information being provided by provincial governments is up 12   
   points to 73 per cent. Only seven per cent say they do not at all trust the   
   information coming from their provincial governments, with the highest levels   
   of distrust recorded in    
   Alberta and Ontario.   
      
   Two-thirds of Canadians polled, or 67 per cent, also report trust in the   
   information coming from the federal government — an increase of nine points   
   since Mar. 5-6. Trust in the federal government was highest in Ontario and   
   Atlantic Canada, while it    
   was lowest in Alberta and Quebec.   
      
   Just over half of Canadians surveyed reported trust in the news media, up six   
   points to 55 per cent. Quebecers reported the most trust in journalistic   
   sources, at 62 per cent. A majority of respondents in Alberta, Saskatchewan   
   and Manitoba said they did    
   not trust the news media.

   Poor, poor conservative-led provinces.  They don't trust our federal leaders   
   and they sure as hell can't trust their provincial ones.  Now, *that's*   
   isolation . . . .
