Two recent surveys suggest most Canadians actually agree on something: that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump should keep his hands off Canada.

However, one survey found that a significant chunk of Canadians, nearly a quarter, were at least open to the idea. And another poll found about the same percentage of Americans were also supportive of a merge.

The polls conducted by Abacus Data and Angus Reid Institute follow comments by Trump who has mused that Canada could be annexed by the U.S. and become the 51st state.

Abacus Data found that Quebec was the province with the highest proportion of respondents (77 per cent) saying they are “absolutely against.”

No surprises here, I’m not gonna do the math, but that might push Anglo Canada up to a 1/3 open to it or something along those lines.
