Many of my friends are American trans people desperate to be able to stay here, terrified of going back.

Seems low. Where I live it's probably closer to 90-95%
American here and I agree.
Even within the borders of this asylum, the "6 in 10 don't trust the US and/or the average American" feels like it would be in the ballpark for the locals. For the people living next to this shit, yeah more like your numbers.
I get it, but like, this isn't something the American people did. This has been orchestrated over decades by the wealthiest evilest mfers on earth. Definitely dont trust our government and dont trust the red-hatted folks, but do realize that if this plays out how they want, all of the regular peiple of the world are going to need to set aside that distrust. It has spread to England and Germany. Canada wont be immune.
Americans still enabled it. Fuck em.
You're telling me that people like Steve Bannon don't go to Europe to spread their hateful shitty rhetoric all around the world? Or that 77 million that voted for Trump have nothing to do with his election?
I know it's not "all of them", but it's a good chunk. It lowers the trust level in general, want it or not.
The American people control who is elected at the voting booth. THEY did this.
Absolutely. Americans, Israeli, Russians are all regular people caught in the crossfire. There are some shitheads in support of their governments, and there are plenty more of those who reject it and will happily join the opposing forces, uniting internationally over the same goal.
And outside of political lens, people are still the same as they were a year or two or three ago. It's just that different political circumstances highlight particular kinds of people.
The majority of Israelis support the massacre. Theyre not blameless.
Yet, you cannot blame any given Israeli. Those who do not commit genocide should not receive scrutiny
This Canadian has been avoiding all US products I can and has zero plans to ever cross into the US border.
Americans are fucking stupid can't be trusted.
Canada should fortify it's southern border and get nukes.
I would even be into an American style vetting on Americans wanting into Canada. Lets check their phones. Sorry, MAGAt. You support Nazi's and Trump. Fuck off!
You sound like Kim Jung Un, or that orange guy, when talking about nukes, and securing the southern border.
Canada has a serious problem with a long term ally attacking our trade and saying we're going to become their 51st state. Trump mocks and attacks our leaders and makes threats against us.
You can try to belittle my comments, but we have a valid reason to feel threatened.
I am Canadian, so what is this we?
If he invades Canada, that will start WW3, he won't do it. He is too busy destabilising his own country, and deporting people. Also, we have no nukes, compared to the u.s. having over +5,000.
I think we should up security checks for guns and drugs coming into Canada, but not search phones unless we have probable cause. We don't have to stoop down to Donald Trump's level.
Make them feel welcomed coming into our country, and hated going back into their own country. We don't need a wall, or nukes. You silly Goober.
6 in 10 Canadians had too much trust in US citizens
As an American, the other 4 out of 10 must be idiots. GOP is on a mission to destroy everything that makes America a superpower.
Canada has their own far-right wing. I bet around 30% are MAGA types. If you look at any election, 30% usually vote insane.
Those 30% morons should move to the middle of bum fucking Mississippi.
Maybe they just never trusted America in the first place!
From Mary Poppins:
Though we adore them individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid.
from MIB:
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
Yours is more eloquent though.

It took you guys this long ??
Canada needs a nuke now more than ever. Build it. And any time the orange fuckhead threatens annexation load it up in the silo.
Might need more than one but you got the spirit

Personally, my trust in any specific individual is entirely based on that individual, regardless of their nationality or any other factor.... Because I'm not bigoted like that.
However, my trust in the American government and my willingness to use American brands has been permanently altered.
Given how much surveillance most major tech companies do on their users, I'm just about ready to break out the tin foil. Shit is getting wild.

I don't blame them. I am (sadly) American, and I certainly don't trust most Americans right now.
Edit to add: and don't know that I ever will again.
