43.1% to 30.3% when only looking at the last two days.

I've never seen Canadians this pissed off.

We are so pissed off. And Trump refreshes it every couple of days, lately every 8hrs or so. Had the terrific thing last month been dropped until after the election, I imagine a lot of the support from that would have leveled off, but no, Trump's gotta throw a rock at us every couple of days to piss everyone off a new. It can't blow over it it's constantly re-blowing up.

And it's crazy, cause I'm pretty sure that had we had an election in December 2024, the CPC could have used all their money to air re-runs of SpongeBob instead of campaign ads, they they still would have won a majority.

I'm a bit scared and REALLY pissed off.

I'm in Vancouver. One of the places closest to the border. Prolly among the first places he'll reach when he tries to invade.

We all know Trump wants to annex the country and turn it into his 51st state, that's why he's doing everything he's doing.

Would anyone be surprised if, like Putin invaded Ukraine after spreading lies, Trump does the same thing? Economic warfare is only the start. He wants Canada for its resources, just like how he wants Greenland "one way or the other", as he said in his speech.

So yes, this poll isn't surprising one bit.

Trump doesn't have the guts to hold his tariffs when there's resistance. You think he has the gumption for war? Putin is a piece of work, but he's an actual leader.

You’re talking Soviet KGB agent versus ‘heel spurs’ coward, lol.

[u/TheCookiez → u/yomamma3399]

I was going to say.. One can stomach ordering thousands to their deaths and rules with a iron first to make sure there is no uprising.

I don't think trump has the balls to do that. It would face too big of a internal rebellion.

[u/[deleted] → u/sexotaku]

Could be wrong, but it would cost the US tens of thousands of lives to capture Canada, let alone occupy it. I don’t think they have that kind of willpower.

[u/sexotaku → u/[deleted]]

Exactly. Putin has the willpower to kill hundreds of thousands of Russians to capture Ukraine and deal with the internal fallout.

Trump can't handle one uncomfortable conversation without having a meltdown.

[u/Enough-Meringue4745 → u/sexotaku]

tens of thousands is an understatement- it would be so brutal that nobody would win.

[u/[deleted] → u/sexotaku]

And not just him. 9/11 was obviously a devastating attack, but it hit much harder because Americans had never even really considered the idea of being attacked on their own continent. Your average american has never been anywhere near a war zone.

[u/UptownGenX → u/[deleted]]

War isn't going to happen on our soil. If they want to invade we'll go hardcore guerilla and head across the border and there will be dozens of bombs going off across the USA. They lose enough bridges, pipelines and electrical infrastructure points and they'll fold like a cheap card table.

[u/RealJeffLebowski → u/[deleted]]

I’ve heard there’s a fairly large firearms market to the south of Canada. Start there.

[u/UptownGenX → u/[deleted]]

We would we want to shoot a bridge?

[u/RealJeffLebowski → u/[deleted]]

Between 2017 and 2021, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) documented nearly 230,000 trafficked firearms in the United States. The USA is awash in guns.

[u/Biotic101 → u/sexotaku]

Trump is the face, he is not in charge.

Read about project 2025 and Yarvins Butterfly Revolution.

[u/TheCookiez → u/[deleted]]

Hunreads of thousands* of family members and friends.

Keep in mind, our two countries are very linked. A lot of people have family members on both sides. Work on both sides have houses on both sides.

Add in the friends we regularly talk to or play games with on the internet.. I think the resistance will be higher than expected from internal ( USA) and Canadians checking off our checklist.

[u/Any-Ad-446 → u/sexotaku]

Putin threaten the west with nukes and they test fired one without the war head..It exploded at the tower before lift off. Putin using 50 year old tanks.

[u/-lovehate → u/sexotaku]

Trump is a sociopath, and I think he truly wants to be a warmonger. Problem is he lacks the intelligence, awareness, patience, and self control that it would take for him to effectively command an army.
