A Matter of Trust

Trust has always been easier to lose than it is to gain, but the issue of trust is even more complicated right now. Who and what Canadians trust has changed in recent years, and that trust varies significantly across the country. Proof Strategies CEO, Bruce MacLellan, explains how trust is measured in Canada, which trends have emerged during the pandemic, and how to begin rebuilding trust with the public.
