New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
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.
They should.
Our populace is too stupid to vote responsibly, which means the filth will always rise to the top, which means our government will always be corrupt, which means it can't be trusted.
Distance yourself from us. Form allegiances with other countries. We cannot be trusted.
I'm sorry. I've voted at every opportunity to prevent this outcome. Many of us have. Just not enough.
And rightfully so. We currently have a dictator that is threatening to absorb them into the collective shithole that America has become…
I cannot blame them one bit and I’m surprised the percentage is that low.
We are cooked. Instead of Trump improving relations with our allies he is making them mad.😭
Can’t say I disagree with them. Usually it’s the canucks always saying sorry but this one is on us. Sorry.
As a Canadian, this didn't feel right so I actually opened the article and there you go it's an online survey.
Historically Canada also feels that Americans don't know much about us at all.

As they should.
The poll is recent.
The US is the enemy of the world. Even of its own people.
It's sad how the US has spent so long building up an alliance with Canada, only for it to all be ruined by Trump in such a short amount of time. I was planning on travelling to California but those plans have since been scrapped as I just don't feel comfortable travelling to the US. I'm genuinely worried things may escalate further.
I think there’s a higher percentage of Americans that view the U.S. as an enemy country than Canadians.

Shocked it's not higher
As member of the 27%, Im much more surprised that only 30% consider the US an ally. Trump has fucked Canadian’s public opinion so bad. Pre-election I’d expect that number to be around 80%
Those 30% are ether delusional or being polite.
30% of people haven't been following the news apparently.
Yeah the current US government is an enemy to everyone right now, a cancer that needs to be excised.
the 30% who said they still consider the US an ally obviously don't read the news
fuck the US. if they're actually serious about this invasion bullshit, I'll kill as many of them as I possibly can. even if it's only one guy, and then my house gets blown up and my charred corpse lands in my neighbour's pool, it'll be worth it.
US spend over 100 years building a strong alliance with North Western nations. And in one month, this alliance looks weaker than ever. It's not anymore the freedom fries joke because a smart friend told you to not do something stupid, but publicly considering invading two close ally (and restarting the good old mess in south America)
As long as the entire government apparatus proves entirely useless in the face of Puckered Asshole Lips, we absolutely are an enemy of any country with the slightest hint of decency.
27% of Americans also view the United States as an 'enemy' country
It's weird
This whole issue is because of one man who has cultivated his own cult of personality
...and I do use the term "man" very loosely
He's grown male adult that behaves like a spoiled child
Trump has done nothing to earn a cult other than making one for himself. It's built upon nothing but disinformation and they live in a world of pure distortion that pivots instantly on a whim with zero explanation given
I doubt any follower of Trump's has any specific idea where Trump is taking them because Trump has no idea either
He just wants to be king, he doesn't want to do king
It's too much work and responsibility, he's just here for his own good time
Preferably as we all suffer
It's a very Gore Vidal philosophy
"It's not enough for me to win, everyone else must fail"
I like how there's not a horde of American's definding America on Lemmy.
Even elsewhere, in more conservative forums, it seems more like trolling, not kool-aid drinking, gaslighting, or being an "American Tankie." There's little whaaaboutism, is what they wanted.
So, yeah, Canada, come at us. Please.
As an American, good.
As a Canadian, all I want is enough time and will to become more independent from the US, so far so good so I’m a little optimistic.
I don't know if Trump will ever learn what consequences are. One month in office to this day, and he's already made us an enemy to our neighbors and allies.
They have no real reason to show any kindness toward US Citizens, but I can only hope Canada takes refugees if the US domestic situation gets any worse.
Why so low, and I live in this fascist state.
