A survey looked at fixing the economy, immigration, housing

Not the best news for politicians.

A new poll suggests Canadians are stressed out about the economy and have little faith in governments to fix big problems.

Proof Strategies revealed two-thirds of respondents reported high levels of economic anxiety.

Fewer than 1/4 of the 1,500 people surveyed online early last month said they had faith in any level of government to make housing more affordable.

And only about 1/3 said they trust government to manage the immigration system.
