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.
Can’t say I disagree with them. Usually it’s the canucks always saying sorry but this one is on us. Sorry.
Meanwhile, at the Kremlin
US citizen here and I’m surprised that 27% isn’t much higher.
I’m guessing it’s a split between considering the govt an enemy but not the people, along with people who think it’s nearing-but-not-quite an enemy.
It’s a problem with polls, they don’t give enough options and many times and the few options they give mean different to different people. If the US were an enemy I’d be too busy trying to figure out how to blow shit up in the US to have this conversation. That’s what I consider the word enemy to mean. We’re not there yet.
I’d classify the US as an adversary though. A country I’m opposing by non-violent means.
US citizen here… can I bump up that number for them please? I’ll work and pay taxes without complaining about them.

what was the number before 2016 or just 6 months ago?
The poll was conducted between Feb. 14 and Feb. 17
I personally would not be surprised if musk and trump will try to start a new Hitler era.
They’re already well on their way.
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
Well… of course they are. We’re threatening their right to exist. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily always see eye to eye with Canada and its people, but this is beyond fucked up.
States dont have a right to exist. People have a right to self determination, which can be exercised through a state with proper representation.
So the US is threatening the right to self determination of the Canadian people, although both the US and Canada have been built as European colonies on the genocide of the rightful people of the continent called North America.
Of course acknowledging the US history of oppression, slavery and genocide is something the Trump admin wants to suppress.
The whole “states right to exist” thing is thrown around by Israel as another genocidal settler colony.
Referring to Canada as the “51st State” and their prime minister as “governor” is a direct attack and invalidation of Canada, its culture, and its people’s distinct identity. This isn’t just about sovereignty. This is about us trying to erase them
I would have thought this would be much higher than 1/3.
Trump caused this.
yes, to state the extremely obvious, he did.
77 million Americans caused trump.
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.
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.
No shit! Should be more frankly.
We’re too nice, sorry.
If you were really sorry, you’d let us* move up there. ^^^Please?
*“Us” being those of us who are also very unhappy with what’s going on in the US.
Nope, piss off. Clean up your fucking mess.
That seems like a bit of an unnecessarily hostile response to a joke comment.

Yeah the current US government is an enemy to everyone right now, a cancer that needs to be excised.
As an American, good.
