Despite claims that American voters are supporting Trump (or Sanders) out of fear instead of anger and disillusionment, polling results "north of the border" suggest that the true source of any such "fear" actually comes from Canada. Nearly two-in-three of Canadian voters surveyed — 65 percent — said they feared the very prospect of Donald Trump getting elected president of the United States, while 23 percent said they did not. The survey, conducted by Canadian polling firm Leger and sponsored by the newspapers Le Journal de Montréal and Le Devoir, also found majority support for Hillary Clinton becoming the 45th president. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/does-canada-like-trump-219017 So why do polled Canadians, and by extension many other Canadians, FEAR Donald Trump's election campaign and possible U.S. term as president ? What are the reasons for such FEAR compared to other candidates and previous presidents ? Is the FEAR rational ? What do fearful Canadians think a President Trump means to them or their lives across the border ? Why are they so afraid ? Fear as in fascism on our borders. Anyone who isn’t concerned about fascism is usually a fascist, Quote

Jimwd Posted June 19, 2018 Report Posted June 19, 2018 “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn’t contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with. Quote

But it doesn't seem to be going that way at all. More likely he'd bankrupt ours, and that's why Trudeau et al are now silent. Quote

No one supports a petulant, cowardly bully. Maybe you think you're seeing something that's just not there. That is why I oppose Trudeau, because he and his kind are also bullies. A bully backs down when challenged, and we can clearly see that in little Justin. Quote

So I googled "Trump approval rating Canada" which came up with some links showing widespread disapproval of Trump in Canada, and that Canadians disapprove of Trudeau just as much or more. One link points to the recent victory of Doug Ford in Ontario as indicator -Echoes of Trump in Canada as Ontario heads to the polls Doug Ford... enjoyed a strong lead in opinion polls ahead of Ontario’s June 7 election. Ontario is Canada’s economic engine and is critical to Trudeau re-election efforts next year. Edited June 20, 2018 by OftenWrong Quote

Here is your chance to prove me wrong, Gallup International World's Approval of U.S. Leadership Drops to New Low TS Median approval of U.S. leadership is 30%, down from 48% in 2016 U.S. approval dropped substantially in 65 countries and areas Germany's leadership now tops that of U.S., China and Russia WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the image of U.S. leadership is weaker worldwide than it was under his two predecessors. Median approval of U.S. leadership across 134 countries and areas stands at a new low of 30%, according to a new Gallup report. The most recent approval rating, based on Gallup World Poll surveys conducted between March and November last year, is down 18 percentage points from the 48% approval rating in the last year of President Barack Obama's administration, and is four points lower than the previous low of 34% in the last year of President George W. Bush's administration. http://news.gallup.com/poll/225761/world-approval-leadership-drops-new-low.aspx Quote

Trump's approval rating within America increased steadily every month since January 2018, which is verifiable, but I don't know what it did worldwide. I doubt that it improved at all. Americans seem to like their bad-boy president. Well, some do. As far as Canada goes, most Canadians have little idea of the inner workings of US federal and state law, let alone their history, so we are easily swayed and mislead. Most people don't know all the issues relating to illegals entering the US, but form opinions based on what little they know, and what the CBC opinion panels tell them. Finally the only poll that matters is the election. Getting back to Canada, the election of Ford is real evidence. Ontarians were tired of too many years of liberal leadership, and it was time to move on. Doug Ford is the backlash. For liberals, the bogeyman has come out of the closet.
