Polls show Americans dislike Canada more than ever, and that's bad news for the trade war

[shockedcanadian]

As I warned Canadians. I wonder how Bill-22 will be viewed by America?
I want out of this wanna Soviet state. From CSIS and the RCMP on down, this place is going to collapse under the weight of the unaccountable police state. The internet destroyed our ability to keep the truth from the world.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Canadians’ affection for the United States tends to rise and fall with whoever’s in the White House. It dropped for president George W. Bush, rose for Barack Obama, and then plunged during Donald Trump’s first term, only to rise again with Joe Biden. In the first year of Trump’s second presidency, however, Canada’s fondness for its southern neighbour has plumbed new lows.


Also new is that Americans’ views of Canadians have also made a historic shift — for the worse. According to a Gallup poll out this month , while most Americans see Canada favourably, that has dropped from 91 per cent to 80 per cent, the lowest level Gallup has seen since the 1980s.

“During the first Trump administration, (Canadians’) views of the United States definitely plunged,” said Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute polling firm.

“But this, today, is a whole new dynamic.”

Only one in five Canadians now view the U.S. positively, reports an Angus Reid survey released last month , while 74 per cent see it unfavourably or very unfavourably. Nearly four in 10 see it as an enemy or threat, which is unprecedented.


Angus Reid has found that 51 per cent of Americans say Canadian products should not be tariffed . But among Trump supporters, it’s just 21 per cent.

There is a stark partisan division. Positive views of Canada have held steadily high among Democrats at 95 per cent, according to Gallup. But Republicans’ positive views dropped from 85 to just 62 per cent over the past year — and among Independents, the number has dropped nine points from 2024 to 80 per cent.



Trump’s trade war and “51st state” rhetoric are almost certainly a major factor. But political scientists point out that most voters pay very little attention to, or understand much about foreign policy.

I am vacationing in The Villages, Florida, and the number of Canadians has dropped dramatically over the past two years. I personally don't care one way or another, but the change is real.

As for how I view Canadians, I have visited Canada MANY TIMES and never had a bad experience. As far as I'm concerned, they are "Americans," whether they identify as such or not.

Canadians(not all of them) fell for the statist left's "One World Without Borders"(OWWB) B.S., the majority of Americans did NOT fall for the OWWB death trap. The statist lefties depend on lockstep strength in number because they are too simple minded & fragile to take care of themselves. Real Americans both hang onto & support "Constitutionally based/guaranteed INDIVIDUAL Liberties" because the real Americans both understand & respect those Liberties for themselves & also for their FELLOW Americans.

I liked Canada when I was there and I liked the Canadians. Polls are a bunch of crap.

Just like most people, I have different view when considering the country of Canada (the government) and the Canadian people. It's similar to my views on Muslims and radical Muslim governments like Iran.

Both governments suck, but I have no problem with the people. I have no problem with the US government as a whole but for the fact it contains far too many leftist morons.

I liked Canada when I was there and I liked the Canadians. Polls are a bunch of crap.

The Canadian visitors I have met here in eastern Washington state really seemed pleasant/polite people. Most likely the Canadians I have met were more country/small town oriented than big city dwellers.

I have been to Quebec Canada where the women are hot and beautiful.

Polls have through time, unfortunately, been engineered to be political influencing devices. Being able to identify & then navigate through politically staged/rigged polls vs. authentic non-politically saturated polls has become an actual art.

As for how I view Canadians, I have visited Canada MANY TIMES and never had a bad experience. As far as I'm concerned, they are "Americans," whether they identify as such or not.

Canadians are poor as hell now. You should expect this number to continue to decrease as we engage in a "managed decline".

Police States are expensive and never good for the general public. The chosen ones are ok though.

Naw, the booing of your anthem and unhinged outrage at Americans when you beat us in hockey is a strong sign.

We are going to lose U.S hockey players to U.S based teams. Poverty in Canada is about to explode too.

No one can blame me, I am one of MANY victims. The difference between myself and most is that I found out how these creepy weirdos who protect diddlers and criminals operate. Worse, I shared what I knew with multiple foreign allies...

Me & the wife used to take in the hockey games(mid 1970's era) when they were playing @ the OLD Spokane coliseum. We could not believe it when we found out that better than 50% of our Spokane Jets team were CANADIANS!!! Yeah, that's a crying shame that politics pollute competitive games like that, but that's what happens when "Groupthink" becomes more important than enjoying the game.

Much as I don't like typing this, almost all of the negative feelings on both sides of the border can be attributed to Our Beloved President, who is afflicted with "Blitherer's Disease," a syndrome characterized by the removal of the "filter" between brain and mouth, that prevents most people from saying the first thing that pops into their head.

Our trade, defense, and other issues could have been dealt with in a civil manner, with better results.

You have not been paying attention. Go onto Twitter and read peoples stories not just old wive fables you hear at the quarry.

Canada and the U.S have changed. Canada has changed far more drastically to the point that promoting America as the enemy has been the M.O of multiple agencies here for decades. I have been learning of hatred against America since I was a kid. This is how centralized police states work. The educated and principled are the greatest threat to their power, internally or externally. America spreading their love of your Constitution is a threat to those in Canada trying to suppress our own Charter of Rights.

I dislike the government of Canada and its policies. I have no quarrel with the Canadian people.

Interesting concept. Who do you think makes up the government, the police, the courts and votes for them?

I don't understand your question. Could you rephrase that?

 

[shockedcanadian]

You suggest you do not like our government but the people are ok. We are a democracy and hence the citizens vote in their fellow citizens right?

It is one thing to dislike a fascist government as they are separate from their citizens.

Indeed, I have issues with some unaccountable outfits here, it does not take away from my government, especially if there are a few who actually care about our civil liberties and Charter of Rights. It is finding men and women of character which is difficult.

What you are speaking of isn't a Canadian problem alone. Everywhere there are fewer and fewer people of character. The world has eroded so much in the last decade.

I hear you. I have also spent a lot of time in Canada and considered spending a substantial amount on our 50th anniversary there this summer. I can't do it. Their gov't has shown that they do not share my values and I am not going to support their disdain for our country. That economic battle works both ways.

I want these Canadians back.
