>Nearly all Canadians (77%) strongly or somewhat oppose Canada becoming part of the U.S., while 15% of Canadians support it, new YouGov polls in Canada and the U.S. find. Support for Canada joining the U.S. is stronger in the U.S., but more Americans oppose the idea (42%) than support it (36%).

>Opposition to joining the U.S. is widespread in Canada. 70% or more strongly or somewhat oppose the idea among Canadians who supported the Liberal Party, Conservative Party, and New Democratic Party in the 2021 federal elections, and among residents of Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and the Prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
>Views on annexing Canada are more mixed in the U.S. More 2024 Trump voters support than oppose Canada joining the U.S., while Kamala Harris voters are more likely to oppose annexation. Residents of the Northeast are more likely to support Canada joining the U.S., while residents of the Midwest and West are more likely to oppose it; Southerners are evenly divided.
>Few people in either country expect that Canada joining the U.S. would be an easy process. 68% of Americans and 74% of Canadians say it would be very or somewhat difficult for Canada to become fully a part of the U.S., while 15% of Americans and 13% of Canadians say it would be very or somewhat easy.

>Trump also has called for the U.S. to take over control of Greenland, which is currently an autonomous territory in Denmark. Americans are divided over this proposal: 33% strongly or somewhat support it and 34% strongly or somewhat oppose it. Canadians are much more likely to oppose Greenland becoming part of the U.S. — 12% support it and 57% oppose it.
>Canadians are more open to the idea of Greenland joining Canada: 38% of Canadians support this happening, while 29% oppose it. Among Americans 22% support Greenland joining Canada and 32% oppose it.
>Residents of both countries are more likely to support independence for Greenland. 50% of Americans and 52% of Canadians support an independent Greenland, while 10% of Americans and 11% of Canadians oppose it.

As an American who loves Canada I would welcome Canada to join the US. IF THEY WANTED TO JOIN. A US with Canadian voters would not have elected Trump. But Canadians would be crazy to want to join together with this version of the US that’s moving toward insanity.
Trump and his followers creating a world where the US is Russia and Canada is Ukraine is a nightmare. I think I’m on the verge of despair.

Trump aside, we should totally all hang out together as one country. Keep me in mind if you ever change your mind.

>But the reverse isn’t true. While most Americans like the U.S. (78% are favorable and 17% are unfavorable), a majority of Canadians dislike their southern neighbor: 37% view the U.S. favorably, and 56% view it unfavorably.
It took less than two weeks of Trump in power for this to happen.

Greenland doesn’t want this.
