Seems like a low number honestly.
So America can be a brutal regime that fucks over the global south and Canadians trust that. They ally that. Canada has been a close ally throughout so much evil.
But now we inflict a little evil on you guys and suddenly you don’t trust us? I mean that kinda implies you guys liked us before?
It’s like a moral abyss from the north pole to the Mexican border.
Lol. Canada was one of the only countries that used to trust America. No one wants to play with the bully
You figure? You figure people who elect a psychopath who threatens to destroy my country economically before annexing it as the fifty-first state may have lost a lot of trust?
That’s just crazy talk!
Thursday’s poll found that 42 per cent of Canadians said they believe Carney will succeed in negotiating a new trade deal with the Trump administration.
Why? I don’t want Canada to have a trade deal with the USA. I want Canada to isolate the USA. A trade wall, ideally armed with machine guns and flamethrowers. Let them stew in their own juices while we trade with countries that aren’t prone to electing obvious man-toddlers into the highest possible office.
Never trusted em to begin with
This is so heartbreaking. I live on the border, frequently visit Ontario and Quebec, even honeymooned in the Maritimes. It’s hard to imagine that I may never be able to do that ever again, but here we are.
I recall how bad I felt waking up in November 2024 knowing that awful things were going to happen, but alienating our closest ally was not one of them. Stay safe, Canada, I hope to see you again some time.
No one is against Americans vacationing in Canada. Many of us chose not to go down because of this stupid economic warfare the administration started. But that’s just business, as they say. It’s about asserting economic independence. Come visit. No worries, buddy.
Seconded. Just make sure your American papers are in order for when you return.
This is pretty much how it was between us and Croatia. I think it’s actually improved between the peoples, while the governments…they are always xenophobic, aren’t they?
I don’t think “xenophobic” at all describes the Canadian government’s attitude to the USA right now. If anything, they’re being too kind.
Only 6 in 10?
4 in 10 already distrusted the US.
4 in 10 thinks we can fix it at some point.
If the USA gets their act together and can show that they can elect sane politicians 12+ years after trump/vance term ends.
That’s my hope.
Their system prevents them from electing sane politicians.
I’m sucking down the hopeium bottle by bottle:
It shows! 🤣
Or 3 out of the 4 never trusted them to begin with. 1 might think we can fix it
Yep. I say this as a resident of the United States and it will take at minimum decades to fix the damage that Trump has caused in just nine months. More likely (assuming the US survives) it will take multiple generations to fix the damage from Trumps second term.
Seconded as another American - the brain drain alone from deterring immigration by conservatives may make that process even longer (or require a new system of governance entirely)
Also the brain drain by actively fighting to prevent scientific research.
Yet another debuff to the pile XD
Your second revolution is going to be starting soon.
I don’t even like the idea of flying over the USA to go on vacation to Mexico. We might just save up and go to a hot part of Europe instead, it’s just a lot more flying.
Fair enough. We did a lot these last nine months to piss of the rest of the world.
2 of them are lying, because they do not have the money to go down there anyways. 1 of them has to go down for work and the other is Danielle Smith.
The other four trust them exactly as much as we trusted them before, which is zero.
I don’t blame the Canadians.
“They’re looking for Canada to create something that protects our own sovereignty within a North American context and make sure that we’re able to survive on this part of the continent that we live on as an independent country.”
Unfortunately it’s not clear our federal and provincial governments share these goals.
