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.

          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.

        ‘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.
