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.

    The rural vs the city has already been divided and conquered. There are trumpers in the city (libertarians) and there are progressives in rural communities (they’ll still be friends but they can’t talk about politics). It’s the way it is now.

    No screed.

      You missed my point - if you’re saying Canadians recognizing the present reality that the US is an enemy nation of Canada is divide and conquer, I don’t see how that doesn’t apply to how you talk about urban/rural divides. Either acknowledging the political reality of a situation is divide and conquer or it’s not.
