About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.
Unfortunately there’s a segment of Canadians that have been exposed to the same brain rot social media as our Southern Cousins that would very much like to see Trump in power even in our country.
They often confuse American rights/amendments with Canadian and think they are interchangeable between the countries.
It’s a shame as we use to be proud of what made us same but also different. It’s an amazing lesson on the powers of social media and it shows how far behind we are compared to the Russians and the Chinese who are using it to their advantage within our countries. It’s child’s play for them now…
As someone from Alberta I feel attacked. Unfortunately it’s completely accurate
I hear it’s not a lot of fun with the Provincial Government being in on the ground floor of this stuff especially when it comes to ending alternative power generation, not allowing health care professionals refer to vaccines and what they are for publically, and I’m sure the list goes on from there which is fun to endure.
I was referring to my local redneck relations and friends in BC.

I’m surprised two-thirds of Canadians still view American democracy as being “alive” enough to be at risk of not “surviving” something.
Not just Canadians worry about that.
He should be executed for treason and we all know this. The fact that this has not happened reasonably makes us fear the worst. We all know what happened when hitler was not executed when he reasonably could have been.
The responsibility for this development is not that the average American electing someone like Trump.
The responsibility is a horde of professionals, academics, trained politicians, highly educated people and highly experienced people who are all actively working to promote, support, finance and encourage the election of Trump.
If they relied on Trump’s charisma alone, he would have been forgotten a long time ago. They have to continually promote him in order to make him viable … and that promotion can only occur with money and leagues of professionals who actually want to support this.
Average people can be directly and marketed to elect whoever the establishment wants … if they wanted to, they could reanimate the dead corpse of Hitler and with enough marketing and promotion, they could get him elected.
This is an interesting, and probably valid point. On one hand capitalism gonna capitalism and some are seeing themselves as economic winners under Trump. But on the other, I have a feeling that there’s a significant ideological factor that falls outside of this. Parts social ideology, economic ideology, and … religious ideology.
Plenty Canadians to this day will vote to keep housing prices high thinking they’re on going reap the gains but they’re somehow isolated from all the bad stuff that come with it.
For the people you’re referring it’s at least logical if you make enough money to destroy the eco system you live in but you’re capable\willing to move somewhere else.
