New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country

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'm an American and also see the United States as an enemy country. Our worst enemy, in fact.

    • Also known as...

      Unfortunately, it's only Evil Kirk.

    • Damn Americans! They ruined America!

      Snark aside, you're completely right. The country that's going to suffer the most damage at America's hands is America itself.

      • Absolutely. Trump's and the Project 2025's "America First" strategy is essentially turning US imperialism inward on its own citizens now that the former global dominance is waning.

      • It's not even snark, it's a perfectly accurate statement!

  • 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.
