Canadians Overwhelmingly Against U.S. Merger: POLL
U.S. President Donald Trump continues to escalate his trade war and annexation rhetoric this week, leaving economists, commentators, and even supporters wondering about his motivations.

This is a poll from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute.

New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds Trump’s repeated threats to make Canada the 51st state out of line with the views and opinions of his own country and voters. Asked about this idea, three-in-five Americans and 44 per cent of Trump voters say they have “no interest” in seeing Canada join the U.S. Further, one-in-three Americans and 42 per cent of Trump voters say they would only be interested if the idea was supported by Canadians.
It isn’t.
For the second time in 2025, Angus Reid Institute finds nine-in-10 Canadians saying they would vote ‘no’ to joining the United States if given the option.
Amid continued threats, more than half of Canadians now think Trump is serious about this (54%). In January, just one-in-three (32%) felt this way. South of the border there has also been in increase in the proportion who feel Trump is serious, but to a smaller extent, rising from 22 to 34 per cent.
One notable domestic dynamic at play is the higher number of current Conservative Party supporters who would vote ‘yes’ on this question, and the implications of the expected federal election. At present, one-in-five would-be CPC voters say they would vote yes, compared to almost zero Liberal (2%), NDP (3%), and Bloc Québécois (1%) voters. Angus Reid Institute asked those Conservative supporters if they would change their vote to join the U.S. in the event of a Liberal majority in the next federal election and found a 12-point increase in yes voters, up to 33 per cent.

We have all learned From DumbOld Trumpf’s pre-election speeches that he has no concrete plans for all the promises he makes. Let’s face it, he’s “wingin’ it”! Since the election Trumpf should have learned that it’s easier to get what you want using honey instead of vinegar to attract your prey. Thankfully, because of his need to be in front of the cameras, the whole world is learning about Trumpf simultaneously. Trumpf’s father, Fred, died at age 93 from complications associated with Alzheimer’s disease. His granddaughter, Mary Lea Trump, a psychologist with a PhD from Adelphi University, descried him as “a high-functioning sociopath”. Because he’s been displaying such erratic behaviour of late, you may ask “What’s going on with DumbOld these days?”. A review of family history and medical issues is a good place to begin your investigation.
Sisco,
Good points. It’s too bad the US doesn’t require a thorough annual physical of their presidents by a neutral doctor. By neutral, I mean one who’s not involved in his ongoing medical care much the way an insurance company will ask you to see a doctor of their choosing if you make certain kinds of claims against your coverage.
A very valid reason for this is that the president has the codes that give him or her access to nuclear weapons and so should be in top condition, both physically and mentally. That’s just one power the president has that could have serious consequences and requires full control of his/her faculties.
