New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
-
Nice try? To do what? Spur Americans into not sliding further into fascism? Guilty as charged, I guess.
-
Good start, keep it up. Don't dismiss contacting your reps just because you're in a blue state.
-
I don't remember saying shit about us not handling this internally or going to war but you do you.
The idea that the USA is untouchable by global counterparts is absurd. Look at what Russia does to our elections with a couple of script kiddies. We can absolutely be targeted and displaced by outside forces, especially with the current crop of dipshits running the federal government right now.
-
As an American, good.
-
They do have a point though, that it’s your mess to clean up. Unlike so many US citizens, many of us actually know that you don’t always need to blow something up, figuratively or literally, when it stops working properly.
We don’t want to “take you down”. We want you to finally start behaving your damn selves. Clean up your own fucking messes, we’re not your parents.
-
This isn’t a distraction, it’s a foreign government threatening us with an economic war specifically to try to annex our country and then doing the things it said it would do to try and make that happen.
The bar is “don’t hate Trump” and ya’ll’re barely hanging onto a majority in the regard only based on recent polls and you elected him with a majority. Your country is balls to wall towards the far-right and I don’t care for your worthless centrists, either.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this, but fuck the US and the vast majority of its citizens. Your “love” means fucking nothing to us.
-
Yeah, that's what I thought. Take a hint Canada, do we need to tilt our hands up and stop pissing on your boots and start pissing on your face? Don't trust a group of people where more than 50% of them voted for a convicted felon and mental retard to shape their future.
Maybe the poll doesn't account for the other 73% just feeling sad about their pathetic neighbor? -
Nope, piss off. Clean up your fucking mess.
-
I hope that my American friends who were already here for things like school can stay, and I hope that anyone trying to be a refugee from the US shitting itself can fuck off.
The US just screams and yells about how fucking great it is all the fucking time and now it’s imploding and, predictably, all people can think about is leaving. No, grab a spine from the fucking spine store and fix your bullshit. We have enough problems here without importing the laziest, most cowardly US citizens to add the list.
-
Trump caused this.
-
HOT OF THE PRESSES: 73% of Canadians not paying attention.
-
You're probably being down voted because of the presumption that we're not doing things. Protests, calling representatives, boycotts, mutual aid networks, etc. Some of us work directly in politics or directly in government, and do what we can in those spaces, too.
It's kind of irritating to get a finger-wagging admonition when you're exploring all options short of outright assassination. And if the suggestion is to just start shooting, well, I think it's asking more than you think for someone to choose to become a killer.
-
I'm an American and also see the United States as an enemy country. Our worst enemy, in fact.
-
There's a good chance that wherever you live, far-right candidates are making headway in your government. What are you doing about it?
-
As member of the 27%, Im much more surprised that only 30% consider the US an ally. Trump has fucked Canadian’s public opinion so bad. Pre-election I’d expect that number to be around 80%
-
The question contains no presumption. I want to hear what Americans are going to do about the rise of fascism in their country directly from Americans' mouths (or this case, finger tips).
If you're actively protesting, calling reps, or working from within as you say, I say good job and good start.
-
And perhaps you could explain why my other reply to those that answered earnestly also get downvoted. For example, https://sh.itjust.works/comment/16824568

It's sad how the US has spent so long building up an alliance with Canada, only for it to all be ruined by Trump in such a short amount of time. I was planning on travelling to California but those plans have since been scrapped as I just don't feel comfortable travelling to the US. I'm genuinely worried things may escalate further.
-
We gotta fight this. Can’t just leave.
-
What do you want people to say to you on the Internet that is owned and monitored by the same people doing this?
