We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
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.
The POLITICO Poll — in partnership with U.K. polling firm Public First — finds Canadians increasingly view the United States as a source of global volatility instead of as a stabilizing ally.
In survey question after survey question, Canadians say the U.S. no longer reflects their values, is more likely to provoke conflict than to prevent it and, as a result, is pushing Canada to consider closer ties with other global powers — including overtures to China that would have seemed unthinkable only a couple of years ago.
Other results that reveal the extent of Canada's mistrust:

Other results that reveal the extent of Canada's mistrust:
- 57 percent of Canadians in the poll said the U.S. cannot be depended on in a crisis.
- 67 percent say the U.S. "challenges" — as opposed to supports — its allies around the world.
- 69 percent agree the U.S. tends to create problems for other countries rather than solve them.
Canadians kind of hate America now. Our new poll shows just how much.
It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia.
