OTTAWA, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Nearly two-thirds of Canadians wanted their government to take a "hard approach" in the trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a new survey released Tuesday.

The data from Canadian non-profit Angus Reid Institute found 63 percent of Canadians think Canada should take a "hard approach" rather than a "soft one," noting that these data were taken both before and after Trump's announcement of the new 35 percent tariff rate.
