Summary
A new Leger poll reveals that 27% of Canadians now consider the U.S. an “enemy” country, while 30% still see it as an ally.
The survey follows escalating tensions, including President Trump’s tariff threats and his suggestion that Canada should become a U.S. state.
Trump remains widely unpopular in Canada, with 74% viewing him unfavorably. Political affiliation influences perceptions, with Conservatives more likely to see the U.S. as an ally.
Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Québécois supporters view the U.S. more negatively.
Another distraction meant to divide. We, the people in the US, love you Canada. I can see why you hate our president, but most of us hate him too.
You overestimate our fellow Americans.
I do not:
Trump’s Job Approval Rating at 45%; Congress’ Jumps to 29%
45% is still too high for me to trust Americans.
Everyone I talk to has about even odds of being a nazi
Well, a good portion of the Nazi’s don’t know they’re the baddies. I know, still Nazis, but they think they’re fighting for a job they don’t want. They’re poor and miserable and want to blame others, trump let’s them do that.
The rest, you can tell by if they wear a red hat, have bumper stickers that have an american flag or eagle on it or looks uncomfortable in city settings. If they call themselves a Libertarian, that’s also a big red flag (pun intended). They give off pretty loud signals.
Okay, then they’re either an idiot or a nazi or both. Still makes me want to avoid them.
Me too brother, me too.
‘Disapprove’ covers a very wide variety of opinions, most of them very milquetoast. Any poll on the topic with differentiation between “Somewhat Disapprove” and “Strongly Disapprove” will result in a marked minority in “Strongly Disapprove”.
Americans don’t hate Trump, by and large. Those of us who pay attention to politics hate Trump. And we are a minority.
If you love us, put a stop to this. Because right now Trump is literally spouting the exact same rhetoric about Canada that Putin was spouting about Ukraine before the invasion.
How many of us get to die at the hands of American guns and bombs while you say “It’s OK, we still love you, it’s just our President who’s an asshole”?
Okay, tell me how we’re supposed to stop the most heavily guarded dude on the planet with the biggest military. He also has every education and financial record on every citizen. Go…
Don’t ask me, ask the people in your own country organizing acts of resistance right now. Get involved, ask them what they need, ask them how you can help. Even small acts of resistance add up. Doing something, anything, inspires others to get involved, and it builds networks. Eventually, you’re probably looking at something like a general strike, but you’re never going to get there if people don’t start organizing in small ways right now.
You said put a stop to it like we have a choice. Canada has a lot of the same things firing up, I suggest you guys follow your own advice on that. Still love you though.
This isn’t a distraction, it’s a foreign government threatening us with an economic war specifically to try to annex our country and then doing the things it said it would do to try and make that happen.
The bar is “don’t hate Trump” and ya’ll’re barely hanging onto a majority in the regard only based on recent polls and you elected him with a majority. Your country is balls to wall towards the far-right and I don’t care for your worthless centrists, either.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this, but fuck the US and the vast majority of its citizens. Your “love” means fucking nothing to us.
