Canadians’ opinions of the U.S. and its president are at or near historic lows

I’m in QC and no, people hates Trump and most of them don’t go in the USA anymore. Yes there is always some people going there for vacations like Myrtle Beach or Disney, unfortunately, but they are a small minority. For instance last year, end of school, 2 to 3h wait time at the border. This year, 2 or 3 cars only.
Yeah, pretty sure the stats support this take – QC has been pretty uniform / pointed in their response.
My guess is that it’s partly tied to the realization that “if” that annexation stuff happened, and Canada eventually ‘lost’, there’s no way QC culture / french language stuff would have the same sort of power/clout as part of the USA. Especially with the current government trends, which aren’t exactly welcoming of other cultures.
Likely similar sentiments amongst many FN, in that a USA annexed Canada would absolutely give the finger to any and all treaty type things. Canada’s approach to integration may not have been great, but the USA was much more inclined to extermination and is absolutely not as supportive as Canada is on that front. Like the Mohawk weren’t really a “Canadian” band with large traditional territories in Canada – they’re basically from New York, and were displaced by America killing em off, and Canada (or the brits, as Canada wasn’t really much of a thing back then) welcomed them as refugees / gave them some space. Tyendinaga, for example, was founded around 1780, it’s not exactly their ancestral homeland. They’re one of the biggest groups at this point, even though they started off in Canada as refugees. If groups like Idle No More started blocking ‘public’ roads/rail to impede projects in an annexed Canada, they’d absolutely get sent to alligator Auschwitz for re-education, and the band involved would get labelled as a terrorist group.

34% positive, wow…
I was also surprised that it was that high, but then I remembered the exchange rate.

As well they should be. You guys all deserve better from us. Don’t give us your money until you get it.

In other news, 34% of Canadians live under a rock or are criminally stupid.
Some percentage of that is likely profiting under the arrangement.

I typically do not trust polls but this one is like being an expert in the obvious.
It really isn’t. It should be much lower.

No problem. Not even feeding Reddit.

If you want to see how Quebec will fair as a US state, just visit Louisiana.

A third of Canadians need to get their heads on right.
They need to get their heads on straight.
Having them slanted to the right is a big part of the problem.

It is really weird to me that you felt the need to do this.
