While Trump eyes tariffs, Americans really want more Canada - Macleans.ca

U.S. customs officers stand at the U.S.-Canada border in Lansdowne, Ont., on March 22, 2020 The majority of Americans think Canada has a better approach to health care , more effective measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic , better laws around guns a cleaner environment , a better approach to immigration , less discrimination , not to mention has a better leader , according to a new survey from polling firm Abacus Data.

But while Americans are going one way, Donald Trump is going the other. This week the Trump Administration is reportedly looking at slapping Canada with a 10 per cent aluminum tariff before July 1, according to a recentreport. Trump’s latest crackdown on work visas also appears to be at odds with American attitudes—85 per cent of Americans say it should be easier for Canadians and Americans to work in either country .

Not that any Americans can come to Canada any time soon—not with the border closed for the foreseeable future, as states like Florida, Arizona, Alabama, Texas and South Carolina all see their coronavirus cases on the rise. Meanwhile, the White House appears to have all but given up on social distancing or mask wearing recommendations—with the re-start of Trump hosting indoor rallies.

“You have a lot of people saying in an ideal world, we’d have easier movement of workers across the border, but we’re not sure we should do that yet,” Anderson adds. “And it’s mostly because they think America is a threat to Canada, rather than the reverse.”

Seems like whenever the US does something mindless like elect a Trump or a Bush interest in Canada rises, but nothing ever changes. The US knows Canada is the better country--by far, but we don't have the climate and our politics seems too socialist for them.

and 95% of Canadians want NO MORE TRUDEAU.

Love these stupid polls, Canada as opposed to the U S. MacLeans should pay more attention to what is going on in our own Capital and the Liberal antics. Of course, that might be too much to ask, as it appears they like the Toronto Star are the ‘talking heads’ of that bunch.

It’s because as always they have no idea about what is going on here - they know where we are (most of them) but are ignorant of Canada. Turdeau is most hated PM ever!

What you don’t ask is “how much does an American really know about Canada?” And also”does the average American spend more than 10 minutes in their lifetime even thinking about Canada “?

😂😂😂.....let's hope that third doesn't come to Canada.....they are certifiably insane.....nutz....we have enough of them working in the mafia news.

Tough shit - fix your own problem

They can't come until they clean up their act. 🙄🙄🙄

Not true...

no

We have enough BRAINDEAD Liberals in this country already!!

What a bunch of baloney

Of course !! We the north. The best country we live in.

We have our own problems, but definitely less chest-thumping, less greed, more compassionate, and level-headed 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Bunch of quitters: instead of fixing their own country, let's go wreck another one.

MikePerryavatar Okay, but it's Maclean's, so ...

Feel free to annex Michigan.

ban Jane Fonda , Cher , Lady Gaga , Rosie ,

What a nonsense article. Good grief. If the Dems get in the White House and the CPC gets in the PMO, we would see an article with the opposite sentiments. It just reinforces how fickle many on the left and the biased media are.

And yet all these Americans stay in place. The 'Americans want to move to Canada' theme is stale and dull. Stop please.

how many people did Abacus poll and what was the margin of error? (this should be stated at the bottom of the article)

HopeAldridge Keep the border with the US closed till they have universal healthcare and gun control.

Quick, build a hedge. 😂

And there is about 1/3 of extreme far left radical Antifa and BLM hate group supporters in the USA. Remember folks, when you donate to BLM, blacks don’t get any money, 95% of it goes to white democrat politicians.

Lets invade them😂
