Most Canadian citizens consider the United States the "greatest threat" to their country, according to a survey published Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.
Among Canadians, 59% said that the U.S. was the nation's greatest threat, as President Donald Trump continues to suggest that Canada should become the 51st American state.
Israelis are especially likely to name the U.S. as their country's most important ally, with 95% saying so in the survey...
• South Korea is second on the list where its citizens consider the U.S. its most important ally at 89%...

Or, if he just hadn't said the stupid part in the first place, that additional understanding of the context --remarks of which many of them may be completely unaware -- wouldn't be needed.
Even with all the context you want to add, the comments were still demeaning/belittling even if they weren't meant seriously. Just flat-out a dumb thing to say unless he didn't really care whether he offended Canadians or not. Which I suspect is probably very close to the truth.
Given the Canadians often seem to think they are better than Americans, more progressive, more enlightened, more “european”,
I understand why Trump made his comments the way he did. Sort of a reality check.
Not the Quebecois? Canada is in real trouble if most Canadians think the US is its greatest threat.
Now we know how Canadians feel about us.
They can do what they want. But they'll have to pay for it.
The great white Islamic caliphate of Canada is a threat to the ISA. Close the border.

ALBERTA OUT OF CANADUH!
CANADUH OUT OF ALBERTA!
Every circus needs a Carney!
Canada isn’t a country.
It’s a limpet.
THAT nails it, and quite succinctly.
And if some Canadian Army general doesn’t get that, he needs to buy a clue.
No one cares. Canada is a useless neo Marxist failed state well on it way to third world status.
We always HAVE been their greatest threat.
Mostly we just ignore them.
Huh? No; the First Amendment does not nullify Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution, which it appears you have not read. Opus?
You have it exactly backwards. Your view that conducting a poll can constitute treason - for which the death penalty would be authorized - is insane. It would both violate the First Amendment and not even be consistent with the Constitutional definition of treason.
In fact, that may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read here.
The entire point of the First Amendment - the very core of it - is protecting political speech, especially that considered decisive or disparaging by whoever is in power. Even aside from that, to which foreign "Enemies" does that poll extol or help? The purpose of Article II is to prevent the waging of War against the enemies of the country, or providing them aid and comfort. Those are actions, not mere words.
Ah Geez
LOL “political speech”, a phrase absent from the First Amendment.
Keep denying Article 3 Section 3 of the Constitution. And to expand, conducting a fake poll intended to stir enmity against the USA is an action indeed.
Opus?
Have a blessed day.
Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No Person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.I do appreciate the blessing though and call for a good one for you yourself. Take care.
