President Donald Trump got a stern reply from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre after Trump wished luck to the people of Canada as it votes. But the wish was not without a reminder that Canada is 'meant' to become the 51st state of the US. A recent poll from Politico and Focaldata revealed that Trump is immensely unpopular in Canada.
In a survey of 2,826 Canadians, only 14 per cent viewed Trump favorably, while 75 per cent viewed him unfavorably. Conservatives were more likely to view him favorably, but still only 24 per cent said they do, while 61 per cent view him unfavorably. A Leger poll, conducted among 1,550 Canadians from February 14 to February 17, found that 13 per cent view Trump favorably, while 74 per cent view him unfavorably. People who said they don't know enough about him made up 7 per cent, while 6 per cent said they weren't sure.
Earlier, a YouGov poll of 1,030 people from January 22 to January 28 found that 21 per cent of Canadians viewed Trump favorably, while 72 per cent viewed him unfavorably. Another 6 per cent said they didn't know how they viewed him.
"Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America," Trump posted Monday.
"No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!" Trump said.
Poilievre asked Trump to stay out of the issue that concerns only Canadians and said, "President Trump, stay out of our election. The only people who will decide the future of Canada are Canadians at the ballot box."
"Canada will always be proud, sovereign and independent and we will NEVER be the 51st state."
"Today Canadians can vote for change so we can strengthen our country, stand on our own two feet and stand up to America from a position of strength," Poiliviere said.
