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 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.

      What part of the country already felt hostile? The South or some flyover state?

      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.
