51% of Canadians believe the government should approach the United States as a threat or as an enemy. Far fewer now see it as a friend or ally.
Canadians have a less favourable view of the US than India, a country which murdered Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong
"Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."
