Most Canadians don’t want to be American, unless it comes with perks: poll

  1. A recent Ipsos poll reveals that 43% of young Canadians aged 18 to 34 would consider voting to become American if certain guarantees, such as citizenship and conversion of assets to U.S. dollars, were provided. This interest is particularly pronounced among young men, who feel disillusioned with the current direction of Canada. While 80% of Canadians express strong patriotism and prefer to remain in Canada, the allure of U.S. citizenship with benefits raises the percentage of those willing to consider joining the U.S. to 30% across all age groups. Additionally, 48% of Canadians believe that comments made by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump pose a serious risk to Canada’s independence.

  2. That’s a big percentage of young people being totally okay with annexation.

  3. The CAD is currently trading at $1 = $0.69 USD, so effectively an arbitrary bribe of 30% increase in assets.

  4. People are going to go for whichever option they feel is more beneficial to them. Perhaps in the grander scheme of things, bigger is indeed better, and it’s only a matter of time until we also see the European Federation.

  5. Honestly, what perks are they hoping for? Our disastrous health care? Our underfunded schools?

  7. The only benefit Canada would get from this is a better looking flag.
