You're full of shit. As per the link, 30% of Canadians polled "would consider annexation if offered US citizenship and conversion of Canadian financial assets to US dollars."

Speaking of being full of shit. As per that link, you're going to great lengths to cherry pick "favorable" results out of the wide variety of options that the polls covered.

Also, that link is from 16 January 2025. Trump hadn't even been inaugurated yet. Do you realize just how big a shift in Canadian (and global) opinion has been going on in the time since then? The whole point of the article this thread is attached to is mocking how Poilivere's party has lost, a result that's in large part a result of the increase in Canadian identity and patriotism that's followed in the wake of Trump's attacks once he was in office.

Abd your stance is that 2/3 of the people who would already be fine with that idea were also completely unaware of the complete shitshow that the second Trump presidency would be and that they wouldn't be defending that stance? Poilievre had a campaign manager wearing a MAGA hat, was asked a question about his stance on campaign employees doing such stuff, and he blathered on about the Liberals and taxes, and they still got 40% of the vote. But please, do go on and tell me how 30% of Canadians being okay with joining America is unreasonable.
