Climate change, terrorism and failure — all things that scare Canadians less than spiders

A new Angus Reid poll has asked Canadians what they’re most afraid of, with illness, death and financial fears topping the list. Whether you’re scared of spiders of not, it’s interesting to note that they scare more Canadians than threats of climate change and terrorism, as well as failure.

3.5% of Canadians claim to be most afraid of spiders, the same percentage that claim to be most afraid of Donald Trump.

Check out the list below.
