OTTAWA — It’s the world’s most awkward breakup.

More than a year after U.S. President Donald Trump casually joked about absorbing Canada and repeatedly threatened debilitating tariffs on its goods, many Canadians are convinced their former pals to the south have lost the plot.

New results from The POLITICO Poll suggest a lasting chill has settled over the world’s former bosom buddies. Americans are rosy as ever about their northern neighbors, but Canadians don’t share the love.

Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you.

Canadians don’t see Trump’s America as merely an annoyance, the survey found. They consider the superpower next door the world’s greatest threat to peacetime.

It sucks that you guys don't have a bigger military than the US because I would LOVE if we became a Canadian province.

Can you guys at least scoop up the great lakes states? Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois, please. Wisconsin has great cheese so you might like them, too

Wisconsin isn't going to like Canadian liquor laws

I honestly don't think most Americans would adapt to Canadian culture. Most states have very liberal cities that might adapt, but go 60 minutes out of a city and its a stupid, gun fucking, jesus loving freak show. Even Alberta isn't this bad.

Yes, bad idea. I have two neighbors who moved from US and they brought the stupid with them. Move to Canada then put PPC signs on your yard, fuck right off.

That's a bit too hyperbolic. I live in a Chicago suburbs and I'd have to travel 2 more hours to find a gun but city. They're not as common as the media would have you believe.

Of the states I listed, Wisconsin is worst in that regard. Parts of Michigan are the same but the gun culture there is more about hunting (for food, not purely for entertainment)
