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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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 wanted to go to my first Combo Breaker in Chicago but that's not happening.
Well, with any luck we'll both be able to visit the New California Republic in a few years
As a Californian, I'm hella stoked for the future nation of Pacifica.
I read this as Canada being the second head at first.
Which is actually appropriate, because we have a similar population, and would make sure the Republicans never win another election just like a second California (and besides the, y'know, French-tinged guerilla warfare).
That would be epic
So what you're saying is California will declare its independence as soon as the genetic experiments to create an army of two-headed bears are successful?
Funny part first time I saw it I thought it could be 2 bears in profile for California mark 2.
I could see that if the second bear wasn't missing two sets of legs.
It's perspective hahahah
That's not how perspective works.
If the legs for both bears are in stride it's an illusion that it's one bear. Kind of like an army march
Here is an example of what I mean. From side it's a 2 headed dog but from angle it's 2 dogs.

If NY and California just split off or joined with Canada...
Would be nice if Canada annex all of Pacific Coast
They should apply to the EU
Patrolling the Mojave? Nah, a stroll around the Night City should be nicer even.
I have family down there that I'll never see again. There's no way in hell I'm going back down to that shithole, ever. It already felt like enemy territory even before the first Trump administration. Now it's like booking a holiday in Nazi Germany in 1939. Fuck all that.
It's 1933 Germany at worst. Give them some credit. /s
What part of the country already felt hostile? The South or some flyover state?
Florida I’m sure
I have relatives who moved to the states, they tend to come down once a year since they have their own business and can easily take off time whenever, whereas for me as a full-time employee it's not so simple. I've already not visited the states in quite a few years so that part isn't a loss for me at least.
I dunno if they will visit this year though, that will be interesting to see what happens with that.
I wanted to visit New York City but never had the chance.
I'm not going to be going any time soon, that's for sure.
Yeah, that's like the one part of America that holds mystique for me too. I guess American Samoa has the weird timezone.
It has been a constant barrage of misinformation spread across the world for decades.
We've seen many reports of misinformation farms from Russia, China and North Korea and this is the result of it.
misinformation farms from Russia, China and North Korea
For those unfamiliar:
The Internet Research Agency, also known as Glavset, and known in Russian Internet slang as the Trolls from Olgino or Kremlinbots, was a Russian company which was engaged in online propaganda and influence operations on behalf of Russian business and political interests. It was linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Russian oligarch who was leader of the Wagner Group, and based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The 50 Cent Party, also known as the 50 Cent Army or wumao, are Internet commentators who are paid by the authorities of the People's Republic of China to spread the propaganda of the governing Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The program was created during the early phases of the Internet's rollout to the wider public in China.
As a Californian I can assure you that unless you’re in the absolute middle of nowhere nobody would even bat an eye at you having a Canadian accent.
I think there’s concern about the fucking plane crashing on the way. 100% legit concern.
Wow friend, that's really reassuring buddy.
We just cancelled our trip to Disney, which is sad, but I see there are some other locations in Tokyo or Paris, so might look at going there for a middle ground.
