What's more appalling is that 13% of Canadians have a favourable view of Trump. Do better Alberta. Do better.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's not funny. Grocery stores here are filled with people weeding out the American products, too.
A little less than half of Americans are my enemy. This is also the same percentage of Canadians I consider to be my enemy.
The big, important difference being that in the US the naughty third is in control.
The new right, freedom convoys, AFD, and other far right movements are our common enemy.
I am a U.S. citizen (stuck in the U.S.) and I view the U.S. as an enemy country
Historically Canada also feels that Americans don't know much about us at all.

You are correct, the only thing I know about Canada is your still part of the empire in some wierd way and you fought hard as fuck during WW2.
Kinda wierd I know more about Mexican history than yours
It's kind of weird, but I'm not surprised. Mexico is exotic and just has a lot more historically going on IIRC.
Canada's history goes something like: The French start trading furs with the natives, the colonial British show up, the British take New France from Napoleon, they decide to shotgun-marry the two into a new country after the US civil war, and then the country slowly transitions from being in a geopolitics-free bubble run by the British to one run by the Americans (with a period of worrying about the two fighting each other).
So, the big picture isn't exactly action-packed - in a way, we're having the most eventful period in the country's history now. (Of course, there's tons of other stuff if you want to look closer, including migrations, minor rebellions, the various schemes the British tried to thwart American expansion, constant flirtation with splitting apart again and Newfoundland joining)
Edit: Oh shit, I forgot the vikings. Yeah, they came and did viking stuff, and left some house foundations. Then all died out. And I should mention it had stuff happening the whole time before Europeans arrived, just no literate cultures to record it, so it's prehistory.
The Commonwealth of Nations, often simply referred to as the Commonwealth is an international association of 56 member states, the vast majority of which are former territories of the British Empire from which it developed. They are connected through their use of the English language and historical-cultural ties. The chief institutions of the organisation are the Commonwealth Secretariat, which focuses on intergovernmental relations, and the Commonwealth Foundation, which focuses on non-governmental relations between member nations. Numerous organisations are associated with and operate within the Commonwealth. It is known colloquially as the British Commonwealth.
I mean, that leaves out the part where Charles III is our de jure (but not de facto) head of state.
I mean, they don't. Their country is self-contained enough they don't have to bother. I hear Chinese are the same way, if you can understand their language.
I would have thought this would be much higher than 1/3.
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.
Are they a frenemy then? A rival? A sibling that's kinda strung out on drugs that you don't know what to do with but still feel kinda responsible to make sure they don't fuck up too bad?
As they should.
The poll is recent.
As a Canadian, this didn't feel right so I actually opened the article and there you go it's an online survey.
I think it's telling that enemy and ally are closely matched...
Canadians likely have some nuance here... They don't hate "us" the people, they hate "us" the country.
So 73% of Canadians don't see the news?
Sir, we have Fox News in most cable bundles.
It's all relative... Just like math.
The United States of America is the enemy of the free world
There isn't really a free world but the USA is definitely an enemy
