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.
To reach one quarter (actually 24%), they had to count everyone who didn’t answer “absolutely not”. This means it includes a bunch of “not in favor” as those that are open to the idea!
Elsewhere, it said that only 1 in 10 were in favor.
If the poll had four options, it means:
Absolutely not: 76%
Would rather not: 14%
In favor: 4%
Absolutely Yes: 6%
Edit: numbers. They’re not clear on the exact digits, trying to fudge them their way…
