A man in a Canadian hockey jersey and Canada hat holds up two red signs, one reading "F**k Trump," the other reading "Elbows up!" as other people holding signs stand beside him on a street outside tall office buildings.

Political anxiety isn't new, but it's arguably been more intense lately given Trump's "shock and awe" strategy since taking office, most recently around the tariffs he's threatening to impose. CBC News asked Canadians to share how Trump's policies are affecting their mental health and they said they're feeling helpless, scared and anxious.
