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.

    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.
