Vote-Scope Canada · Live instrument
The Canada Goose Index.
A composite measuring Mark Carney's political strength at home in Canada — the standing that underwrites his hand in the CUSMA (USMCA) negotiations. Six weighted components, real public data, zero opinion. The goose climbs as Carney's position at home strengthens.

How we measure the honk.
The Index is a composite score, not an opinion. Six components, all from publicly available Canadian polling, the Vote-Scope federal model, and the Bloomberg/Nanos confidence series. Higher means a stronger negotiating posture.
Component Breakdown
Six signals, one number.
Each component is public, weighted, and visible. Personal Carney approval and the "who handles Trump best" question are the phase-2 upgrade — they are not yet in the data, so we do not fake them.
