OTTAWA — It’s the world’s most awkward breakup.

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.

New results from The POLITICO Poll suggest a lasting chill has settled over the world’s former bosom buddies. Americans are rosy as ever about their northern neighbors, but Canadians don’t share the love.

Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you.

Canadians don’t see Trump’s America as merely an annoyance, the survey found. They consider the superpower next door the world’s greatest threat to peacetime.

"Stronger: 7%"

😐

That's not even a partisan issue, and yet

7% of canadians are traitors, apparently

Since they love trump and his policies so much, we should send federal agents to round them up for treason

Look at any poll. There is always a low number of 5-10% that believe in the weirdest shit. Flat earth. Alien abduction. Anti-science nonsense, Homeopathy, etc.

10% of any civilized population are complete fucking idiots.

I'm surprised it's not higher. A lot of people I know only moved to Canada to get into the usa. Or because they couldn't get into the usa.

So for them, joining the usa is ideal.

It's sad.

Maybe they will change their view given what we see going on in the USA? It's hardly looking like the land of opportunity these days.
