In other news, 34% of Canadians live under a rock or are criminally stupid.
A third of Canadians need to get their heads on right.
- They need to get their heads on straight.
  Having them slanted to the right is a big part of the problem.

  It is really weird to me that you felt the need to do this.
- They're a danger to the country. We dodged Poilievre this time, but next time those 34% will still be there and voting to take Canada down the dark path the USA is on.
  
  I am still holding hope that Pierre is on the way out, but I do agree that this 34% of Canadians represents a clear and present danger to Canada as a whole.
Approaching levels not seen since the War of 1812, even.
34% positive, wow..
- I was also surprised that it was that high, but then I remembered the exchange rate.
Americans’ opinion of the U.S. and its president are at or near historic lows.
Everyone south of Toronto (not including the actual city), most of everyone around the St Lawrence River in Quebec and all of Alberta still love America, no matter who's leading it.
It's the strangest thing ... I've got friends and family in rural southern Ontario in Haldimand County who might as well be from the southern states, friends in Quebec who barely speak English but love to vacation in Florida and Albertans who are just plain ol racist asshats that fall right into the MAGA cult ..... everywhere else and you'll find most northern Canadians who live away from everything just absolutely don't like Americans.
- I'm in QC and no, people hates Trump and most of them don't go in the USA anymore. Yes there is always some people going there for vacations like Myrtle Beach or Disney, unfortunately, but they are a small minority. For instance last year, end of school, 2 to 3h wait time at the border. This year, 2 or 3 cars only.
- Not all of Alberta. The cities are not the same as the rural areas.
  
  Not all rural areas are the same either 🙄
  
  Rural areas are mostly Trump-negative at this point too, although there's a significant minority dumb enough to want America First while not American.
- All of Alberta is bs. I don’t know anybody here who likes them. Stop pushing this shit. There is a small amount of people who are just noisy.
  
  I have a cousin that recently moved to Calgary from southern Ontario ... young guy in his 20s .. Indigenous Mohawk but fully passes as an average white guy. From the way he describes the city and most people .... no one really cares about politics all that much ... if its full on MAGA, racist, homophobic crap, they join in .. if its NDP socially minded all inclusive, they'll join that too ... everyone just joins whatever band wagon is taking place and they don't care where the politics are coming from
- We're on vacation near Goderich. 1 "white lives matter" sign, but SO many "No Hate in Huron" signs. Very glad people are countering the hate messaging.
- Sounds like you have really shitty friends.
  
  I have a lot of friends ... and extended family all over the place ... I don't choose if they have shitty politics or don't know any better ... but I still call them family, even if they have a shitty, narrow view of the world ... but it also means I spend as little time with them as possible.
Hej Canada! You are not alone in this!
the U.S. and its president: "We can make it lower!"
I typically do not trust polls but this one is like being an expert in the obvious.
- It really isn't. It should be much lower.
"Near"?
