No shit!

Four in five Canadians strongly oppose the idea of joining their neighbours to the south, and a majority, 78 per cent, are concerned with the rhetoric Trump keeps pushing.
So 20% of Canadians are traitors and/or idiots.

But what about the freedom to lose one's life savings to an insurance company?

There's a baseline 20-30% of all polls taken over the world that is made up of hateful nutjobs and conspiracy theorists
There could be someone running for office who has figured out how to solve all the world's problems for free, and that 20-30% will vehemently oppose them.

"Why should we solve the world's problems for free? The rest of the world should pay us!"

Because the world wants to know how hard Polievre fucked himself by hitching his wagon to the trump train.
Also, with an election called in Canada, it probably doesn't cost much to tack a question about current events onto a poll you were already going to conduct.

I can believe it, I know one of them. They're the incel, manosphere idiots, the 4chan, never trust the government, flat earther alien conspiracy theorists who think they're smarter than everyone else because the mainstream media always lies and they get their news from - that 'altmedia' you might see and think who the fuck is watching this shit??! YouTube channel etc. It's them.
That stuff is spreading into the mainstream too. A young person in my family recently told me they don't believe in the moon landing. Why? It doesn't seem like that technology could exist back then. Lol.

would they take us as the 11th province?

I'm having a hard time finding the link to the poll itself...
But I suspect that the poll had distinct categories for "strongly oppose" and "oppose".
So either the article is lumping the two responses together (which would be shitty because they explicitly say "strongly") or it's likely that the number of Canadians who are open to it is <20.
From previous polling I've seen, it was around 13% who were open to it. Not even saying they would, but merely open to the idea.

I have long said that even in a Utopia you would have people unhappy about the way things were.

On the positive side, I knew a couple where she was an evangelical Christian home-schooling their kids and he was a massive conspiracy theorist, who was suspicious of "mainstream medicine" and didn't believe in the moon landings. Over time, with the rise of the far right, QAnon, the antivax movement and Trump, these people have realized they want nothing to do with those people or their insanity. She left the church and stopped preaching at people, they sent their kids to regular schools, they all got their vaccines, and he abandoned his conspiracy theories and now accepts that he was an idiot about the moon landings and laughs at his former self. So it is possible to travel in the other direction.

But the technology to fake it clearly could? Idiots...

Now that is the kind of reality I want to believe in! Those people should share their story and try to 'save' (oh the irony) some more of the crazies.

They're already tired of winning!
