New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country

If the legs for both bears are in stride it's an illusion that it's one bear. Kind of like an army march
Here is an example of what I mean. From side it's a 2 headed dog but from angle it's 2 dogs.

There isn't really a free world but the USA is definitely an enemy

They should apply to the EU

I understand that options aren't available to everyone

Believe it or not, it’s a Sobey’s, so big chain. I was pleasantly surprised that it happened so quickly. I don’t know if my local store is representative of the chain though.

A mixture of emotions. In my case,
1.) I live in Illinois and bought a home in 2020 when the interest rate was 3.2% as a first-time homeowner. If I were to sell and look for a new home, the interest rate in Canada would be somewhere around 4%, plus the cost of living is higher compared to where I live. That's ignoring the complications that could come from obtaining a permanent work visa as a foreign citizen.
2.) I love my job as it is now and it may be difficult to find a job in the same field. Also, my wife recently found a job in her career field and for the first time wants to stay at her employer for the foreseeable future; working in public health and helping the people this horrible healthcare system is failing to care for.
3.) Family and friendship ties to the area.
4.) There's some semblance of hope if we stay. I do still want the best for everyone that I share this earth with. Even if it were financially viable for me to leave, there's millions that aren't so lucky. If I pack up and leave that's one less person voting for progressive policy and advocating for empathy in a country that has real projective power in the world.
5.) Illinois, as a blue state, is temporarily insulated from damaging policy that Trump is trying to enact. JB Pritzker has remained steadfast in his opposition to Trump and regressive political action.
I liken it to French opposition during the period of Nazi occupation. (Clearly it's not a 1:1 comparison.) The french resistance hampered Nazi wartime efforts just enough to keep Nazi logistics from being able to cross the channel and occupy Great Britain. If that were to happen, the United States wouldn't be able to set up any sort of staging area on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. Amphibious assaults would have taken place on the western coast of GB where there's cliff faces rather than the sandy beaches at Normandy. Maybe Germany is then able to allocate more troops to the eastern front in that scenario, who knows. But thankfully that's just a hypothetical and isn't something we have to ponder.

It's all relative... Just like math.

As they should.

I am a U.S. citizen (stuck in the U.S.) and I view the U.S. as an enemy country
-
The poll is recent.
-
They're already well on their way.
-
Wouldn't say "enemy" exactly, but I think it's fair to say there isn't a Western democracy in the world that views the USA as a reliable ally right now. Because you're a Russian asset.
-
I would have thought this would be much higher than 1/3.
-
How are you stuck in the US?
-
I don't have the financial wherewithal to pick up and move to another country. If I did I'd be out of here.
-
A little less than half of Americans are my enemy. This is also the same percentage of Canadians I consider to be my enemy.
-
Sir, we have Fox News in most cable bundles.
-
Do I foresee little ProfessorNougatScience babies in the future...?
-
Historically Canada also feels that Americans don't know much about us at all.

Oh, so there's not another Country that'll just pick up your tab and give you free food, a phone, a car, help you get a place to live and let you have one of their citizens jobs? Got it!
