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.
I hope that my American friends who were already here for things like school can stay, and I hope that anyone trying to be a refugee from the US shitting itself can fuck off.
The US just screams and yells about how fucking great it is all the fucking time and now it’s imploding and, predictably, all people can think about is leaving. No, grab a spine from the fucking spine store and fix your bullshit. We have enough problems here without importing the laziest, most cowardly US citizens to add the list.
Riiiight, because intelligent, hardworking people won’t want to bail too.
Hope you guys at least accept enlistees ;)
I don’t care if you’re intelligent and hardworking, and frankly if that’s what you think I have a problem with I super don’t want you anywhere north of our borders.
So, you think we all are the worst of us?
Given the situation, I can’t judge.
I think that the last people I want here in Canada are the ones who run from their problems before even trying to protect their country from a hostile takeover. I don’t think you’re all the worst, I think that your best is rare and that most of you are not nearly as great as you think you are.
We have enough of that shit here and don’t need even more of that dead-end attitude diluting anything good we actually do have. Hell, I’m not even as active as I probably should be, but then again I’m not dealing with a fascist potential dictator currently trying to overthrow longtime allies.
Well, you have the general US attitude nailed down at least.
But, I do think you’re preemptively judging the situation. Most people who helped perpetrate this will go down with the ship. They still think everything is fine. You’re kind of just displaying the attitude most US citizens have toward our southern neighbors - and look what kind of leader that got us.
At least Trump’s win was enough of a wake up call to the world that it weakened Poilievre a bit. For now.
Lol are you trying to say I’m being racist towards US citizens? No, your country hates Latin Americans because of a myriad of eggregiously false claims and what is real is largely because you fuckers won’t quit meddling with their elections, funding para-military groups, or imposing embargos.
You(generalization) are not the victims, you are the problem finally meeting some consequences. I’d be so much more happy to help if more of you would acknowledge that but too many even in this very comment section are trying to avoid responsibility.
Nope. There’s definitely too much anti-Latin American sentiment here, that’s part of why we’re in this mess. But I would say a good portion of people here aren’t racist toward Mexicans. But, a large part of that same portion just doesn’t have empathy for their situation because of a self-focused attitude.
Again, it feels like you’re preemptively judging US citizens. We’re the evil empire, there’s no denying that. But, no doubt, some of us will be the victims when it’s all said and done. Just as you are one of the victims of US aggression now, US aggression will eventually turn toward its own citizens. Now, this is me preemptively judging the situation, albeit with more real life experience of our citizenry, but I do think many here will put up a fight on their turf (mostly because of that self-focused attitude mentioned earlier).
That said, if the situation escalates into civil war, there will be plenty of innocents caught in the crossfire - and those are the potential refugees to which I’m referring. Nobody wants you to let MAGA jump ship after they unleashed the plague rats. God willing, that attitude will crumble as it makes DC crumble.
