Canadians are no more loving of the United States under its current leadership than during George W. Bush's presidency, suggested a poll published Monday. But they do like President Barack Obama a whole lot more than his predecessor, said the Historica Dominion Institute survey of 1,018 Canadians.
Obama was viewed favorably by 86 percent of respondents, compared to only 21 percent for Bush in 2005.
"What's striking about these findings is how Canadians have detached their personal view of Barack Obama, whom they quite like and respect, from the United States, which they still view with skepticism, even distrust," said Andrew Cohen, president of the institute.
Compared to results of a similar poll taken four years ago, Canadians have a marginally improved view of Americans as individual people, with 71 percent expressing a favorable view in 2009 versus 68 percent in 2005.

I don’t blame them... Of course, I don’t trust them either.

86% like him hunh?
We'll add that to the list of reasons why Canada has got to go and it's people need to be transported "back home" (wherever that is) as soon as possible.

Well, I suppose it figures. If they hate the U.S., then they’ve really got to love Obama.

When Obama’s troops come storming over the 49th, Geo Bush will look pretty tame, my Canucklehead chums. ;-)

I highly suspect this poll was conducted all within the “416” area code (downtown Toronto)

This poll was taken in Southern Ontario, Quebec and Western British Columbia.
Take it again in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick and see how the numbers turn out.

Who even spends any time thinking about Canada. Canada appears when I click on the NWS for the weather forecast everyday. I'm in upper Frankenland. Does that qualify as thinking about Canada?
To: Stentor
Who even spends any time thinking about Canada. Since a lot of us have family there, (my mother, for example) and are descended from a Canadian parent, we think about Canada. So do millions of Americans living on the border and doing business.
Any more stupid questions?
