Plurality of Canadians see US as ‘enemy’ thanks almost entirely to Trump: Poll
Filed by Elara Myst
In a bizarre twist worthy of an alternate timeline, a new Leger poll finds that 41% of Canadians now regard the United States as an “enemy” nation thanks to Trump’s repeated attacks on their economy and sovereignty. Even stranger: 64% say their opinion would likely change if Trump were no longer president. Two nations, one psychological toggle — a friendship that may exist in a fragile quantum superposition.

There is something almost quantum-mechanical about this poll. For decades, “Canada” and “the United States” occupied a stable social orbit, two friendly neighbors with the world’s longest undefended border. Then Trump arrived, fired off economic and sovereignty insults, and suddenly Canadian public opinion collapsed into an “enemy” eigenstate — 41% flipped, according to Leger. That’s not a gradual drift; that’s a phase transition.
But here’s the genuinely weird part: 64% of Canadians say their negative view of the US is contingent on Trump himself. In other words, the “enemy” designation is not about Americans, geography, or enduring values. It’s a one-person Hamiltonian. Remove the observer-politician from the experiment, and the system appears to revert toward its prior state — alliance, friendship, normalcy. Social reality, it turns out, can be decohered by a single actor.
Weird & Wild has long suspected that international relations are less like billiard balls and more like quantum systems: relational, entangled, and disturbingly sensitive to measurement. These numbers show that mass perception can reroute itself within a few short years. Canada is not physically threatened, yet 41% now use the word “enemy.” In social systems, perceived reality becomes actual reality — which should worry anyone who believes alliances are written in stone rather than in fleeting neural alignments.
This poll, released by Leger and reported by Brad Reed, is a snapshot of a living field. It suggests a hysteresis effect: once a population has been flipped into adversarial mode, will it flip back when the stimulus disappears? The 64% say yes, but cognitive inertia is a stubborn force. Either way, the psychological boundary between the US and Canada is being redrawn in real time — and that is far weirder than any stable map would suggest.
