* With the Canada-U.S.-Mexico (CUSMA) free trade agreement up for renegotiation this year, 51% of U.S. respondents told a new Angus Reid survey that if they had their way, there would be no tariffs on Canada at all.
* Among those who identified as registered Democrats, this figure was at 72%. MAGA Republicans are more likely to want a tariff on Canada, but 48% said they would only want a “minor” tariff on Canada.
* Nearly two-thirds (63%) of Americans said Trump’s tariffs are mostly borne by American consumers (56%) or businesses (seven per cent).
* More than half (52%) even said Canada was the “the most important” or “a very important” trading partner to the U.S.
* This contrasts with Canadians’ views of their southern neighbours, with 39% seeing the U.S. as “an enemy” or a “potential threat” and only 22% thinking of the U.S. as being on friendly terms with Canada or being an ally.

But they won’t do anything to prevent it from happening except ask us to be nicer to Trump so he doesn’t do it.
This is the relationship we are living in. Our neighbors are a dysfunctional family with an abusive husband and the wife is asking us not to make him angry for all our sakes.

I suppose it’s good that number has creeped up to over 50 percent, though I wonder if they asked the ones that do want tariffs WHY they want them and how they expect to impact prices for Americans…

The other half is to dumb to know they are paying them.

Haven’t the American’s figured it out yet, it is not about what they want, it’s about what a handful of psychopaths want.

So last month they released data that said 95% of the cost of tarrifs was paid for by the American consumers in 2025. This month only 63% of Americans think that American consumers pay the tarrif…

they need to follow up this question for the people saying no asking them if they know who pays for the tariff or how tariffs work.

One of the biggest problems is how media (on both sides) have repeated Trump’s misinformation on tariffs. There is no such thing as “tariffs on Canada”. There are American import taxes on Canadian goods.

Just over half of Americans means Democrats + Independents or Republicans + Independents so it doesn’t mean anything important. It just matters what Republicans want right now since they are in power.

Seriously disgusting how he has ruined a relationship with one of our closest allies because he thinks he is a king and everyone should bow down to him or else he will ruin his own country just to make a point. Its exhausting having this buffoon making threats against other countries on almost a daily basis now.

Side-bar, gotta love how selective reddit can be about economic literacy. Rightly deriding tariffs, but in the same breath repeating populist falsehoods, whether from the left or right.

Then they need to vote Blue in the midterms. They need a ⅔ majority, house and Senate to get it done.

Over half of Americans should’ve used their vote more wisely.
