The online survey of 1,002 U.S. adults was conducted between Jan. 13 and 15. It found that 66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation

So basically just the deepest fascist base supporters.
So what percentage of them would like Canada to annex the US?
Me me me!
Promise? 🫦
I kind of want an American to ask me all butthurt why I don’t want to join the US, just so I can use the 11th province line.
I don’t want them to be Canadian either though. We have enough problems with Alberta. Pulling in any state will be even worse.
Yeah, if they actually took that up, d’oh!
Exactly, too many magats even in “blue” states
There’s a fair minority in Canada, too. If it wasn’t for the whole 10x our population thing maybe it would be fine.
California has about the same population all on it’s own. Just the empty part of New England or Hawaii might be a good addition.
I guess it serves as a data point indicating what the percentage of Americans who will agree to the craziest shit available on the opinion poll answers is up to now. Seems to me it was as low as 10% not too many years ago.
So 17% of Americans are our enemy
The question then becomes: will the other 83% be our ally and stop this 17%?
Based on the apathy and avarice of your average american that helped put their country in its current state I doubt very much the majority will lift a pinkie.
They are not even fighting for their own country. They are too busy watching The Burnt Peanut and hiding in their basements which ice will soon be visiting them as well.
Guess they never heard what happened to people considered dissenters by the Nazi govt during WWII.
It will be a blanket way of filling Alligator Auschwitz Death Camps at a rate so fast it will make one’s head spin. All it takes is a sniveling ice coward to point and say dissenter! Poof you are detained. Wake up america, your life depends on it.
Well, only 66% said they didn’t want the USA to invade Canada. So no, we won’t have the support of 83%. We’d be lucky to have 40% actually speak up on our behalf, and even fewer would act.
17% is more than one in six. That number sounds uncomfortably high.
I know perhaps two dozen Americans who are friends, current and former colleagues, or family. It’s disturbing to think that statistically there are perhaps 3 or 4 that don’t think that the country that I love, that is my home, that has allied with them and sacrificed for that alliance, should exist. That I should bow to their power. It’s psycho shit.
I think it’s hard for people in other countries to realize how deeply propagandized Americans have been for their entire lives. They are relentlessly taught that the USA is the greatest country and the only place anyone in their right mind would want to live, and that the USA brings freedom to the world, even as they suffer bad working conditions, crappy housing, a violent society and poor education and healthcare. They believe they are the only country with true freedom, even as they’re allowed to embrace a range of political views all the way from neoliberalism to fascism, murdered by brutal armed police, and imprisoned at the highest rate in the world.
So some of these will be so steeped in the propaganda that they genuinely believe US invasions are doing other countries a favour.
Most likely the other half of the roughly 30% of Americans who represent the MAGA coalition think that annexation would be doing us a favour - elevating a bunch of ungrateful socialists to the American standard of living or something like that.
I wish the worst towards all of those who wish to invade us. So fucking sick of these imperialists.
I’d challenge this 17% to tell us three things they know about Canada that aren’t sports related.
17% of Americans are uneducated and don’t really know the consequences of war.
That’s actually encouragingly low, in light of their usual appetite for smiting enemies.
1 in 6 is not low.
66 per cent of respondents want Canada to remain an independent nation
Huh. The 33% implied in the text is weirdly double the 17% reported. Who are the delusional 16% who want to take over the country, but without using a word they can’t pronounce or define?
There’s a graphic in the article with a breakdown, 17% are “Not sure”
While that’s normal for surveys like this, it’s also annoying. They’re unsure about if they want a war with their next door neighbour?
Some people are just too alienated from things and when asked about their opinion, they’re like ‘errr I don’t know, not sure’, and that’s usually not because they understand the matter but are unsure of it, but because they don’t understand the matter at all
No, they’re not “not sure”, they’re just cowards unwilling to voice their opinion because they know it’s morally objectionable.
It’s possible many of that 17% are ‘not sure’ because they failed to understand the question and couldn’t be bothered to read it twice. They are Americans.
17% of Americans can take off, eh.
they will all die in the yukon and the high artic trying to take it. theres a reason why most of alaska is uninhabitable.
Why is this showing percentages in a positive light compared to their obvious negative?
But why though? To seize their strategic maple syrup reserve?
