About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.
The November U.S. election is likely to pit President Joe Biden against Trump, who is the clear frontrunner to win the Republican nomination as voting in the presidential primary race kicks off in Iowa on Monday.
Sixty-four percent of respondents in the Angus Reid Institute poll of 1,510 Canadians said they agreed with the statement: “U.S. democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump.” Twenty-eight percent disagreed.
The Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill by Trump supporters seeking to block certification of Biden’s 2020 election win shocked many Canadians, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly blamed Trump for inciting the mob.
Canadians also worry that CANADIAN democracy cannot survive Trump’s return to the White House…
A fascist dictator annexing a relatively weak yet prosperous neighbor with a similar culture and shared history?
When has that ever happened?
Yeah there’s a good chance Trump will invade Canada eventually.
That seems highly unlikely to me. Canada doesn’t really have any significant resource value for us to go to war over, especially with a NATO ally. If anything, it would probably be more like when he floated the idea of buying Greenland.
You’ve got that sweet sweet land that is gonna be pretty nice with the coming global warming.
It’s not about invasion as much as it’s about the cultural shift/invasion.
