Random findings from my perusal...
- trust in governments is declining in most places
- people seem to trust business leaders much more than heads of government
- scientists are the most trusted in society
- the US are among the 6 countries most polarized (duh!)
- highest levels of citizens' trust in their country's government, media and businesses: China, Indonesia, UAE, India, Saudi Arabia
- lowest 5: South Korea, Japan, Argentina, UK, Spain (US is 8th lowest, Canada is ranked as neutral - so Canadian!)
- the WHO are the most trusted multinational organization internationally, which is good to see with all of the fake news during covid
Have a look, there's tons of neat stuff! Sadly, most of the Canadian stuff landed right in the middle which doesn't really spark much discussion.
