The poll suggests another 30 per cent still say they consider the U.S. an ally.

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.

    But the speed at which you turned your backs on us, and the lack of internal outcry speaks volumes.

    With all due respect…

    Canada’s problems rank pretty low on most Americans concerns at the moment.

    It’s like if you’re neighbor’s house is burning down, and you come out to complain that the fire engine sirens woke you up from a nap and you’re upset we haven’t apologized yet…

    Sorry and all that, but we have bigger concerns right now.

      I think it’s more like:

      Your neighbor’s house is burning down, and they’ve been stacking dry branches, twigs, and leaves on the side of their house that faces yours, and their kids illegally turned on a hydrant to play in and never turned it off so there’s no water pressure, and you see embers floating towards your roof.

      I think we’re at the stage where it’s time for Canada to get out the earth moving equipment and dig a fire break between us.

      I don’t think they expect us to care, it’s more like they’re coming to the rational conclusion that we’re a lost cause and they need to protect themselves from the dumpster fire we started.

        Am Canadian, yep this is exactly what it is.

        The us has always been a risk to rely on but the benefits outweighed it. But that’s getting less every day so we have to decide when to cut our loses and move on.
