Trudeau's version of "independent", are sectors of government he created, with staff he selected. He's also bought off most of the press, using an "independent" panel to decide where the money goes. This "independent" panel had their opinions predetermined, and was made of organizations that didn't know about it until the government announced it. They are also organizations that politically support his political party (and oppose his main opposition).
I watched the interview where he mentioned this and it sounded like he doesn't believe they are accurate/real polls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fhlSw72Z5M
