A Nanos / Globe & Mail poll out today on Canadian took “stock of deteriorating Canadian opinions of the United States after U.S. President Donald Trump’s first year back in office.”

“The survey asked Canadians if they agree with the statement that “the United States is a trustworthy ally of Canada.” Nearly half – 49.2 per cent – disagreed and another 26.9 per cent said they somewhat disagreed. Only 9.2 per cent agreed with the statement; 12.5 per cent somewhat agreed. “

While the Globe & Mail story is paywalled, Nanos has the full report posted on its website.

It has the regional breakdowns. There’s not as much variation from the national average as one might expect. Once again however, Nanos lack of disaggregation of the Prairies — with Alberta lumped in with Manitoba and Saskatchewan — makes inference very challenging.

The gender and age breakdowns are telling though. Younger men seem to be more polarized on these issues than women or seniors: few older persons or women seem to retain any trust in the US.

I keep hearing that reddit.com/r/canada is a right-wing haven.

I'm not seeing it, based on this thread about Canada rescinding the Digital Services Tax (DST).

The DST is absolutely stupid, and should have never been enacted.

We hate Americans for instituting a tariff?

Canadians are not innocent, and it's not OK. It's just another pot calling the kettle black.

Previously, I have complained about leftists doing stupid stuff, but when someone makes an intelligent comment about why leftists are not actually stupid, I immediately back down.

But this, I'm definitely digging my heels on.

It's a hill I'm willing to die on.

In a rare move, a #jury is being asked to decide a #complicated #constitutional matter — whether #developers have a vested right to complete the 145-mile (233-kilometer) project, which would supply #Canadian #hydropower to the #NewEngland #PowerGrid .

The fate of a $1 billion project that would bring energy from Canada to the US is in the hands of a 9-person jury: ‘This is an unusual circumstance’

Critics say the project’s environmental benefits are overstated — and that it would harm the woodlands in western Maine.
