Republicans Reconsider Canada | Calgary News

New polling reveals a sharp uptick in American Republicans viewing Canada as unfriendly or even an enemy—now at 38%, the highest in a decade—driven by recent trade tensions and executive moves like renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, which surprisingly drew approval from nearly half of MAGA Republicans. While Democrats also show a slight negative shift, it’s far less pronounced. Despite this, most Americans still see Canada as an ally, and majorities oppose new tariffs, expecting economic harm. Crucially, in key swing states, Canadian sentiment remains positive, with voters even warmer toward Canadians—and President Trump’s trade record with Canada polls worse than his overall approval in those battlegrounds.
